DiMaggio or Mantle

[Miggs]

Who was the better player ?
I used to always think DiMaggio was Mantle's superior based on folklore but after looking at the numbers and considering the eras and post integration and all that,i think I got to give it to the hick from Oklahoma who got head under the right field stands...His prime years were godly in every statistical way and trump Joes....

He was robbed of that 1961 MVP too...

Mantle by a mile

I don't want to say DiMaggio is overrated cuz some of his early season stats are amazing on paper even tho they are pre integration but outside of a couple MVP seasons and great HR seasons I thought he had more power than he did...

He gets overrated because of the hit streak. And those 30s/40s team won like literally every year.

Mantle all day. Mickey could have been the greatest player ever I've heard people say if it wasn't for the drinking and partying but even with all that he was still one of the best ever and is a legend.

the thing with DiMaggio is he went to WW2 during his prime years, and wasnt the same player after.

Mantle better though. Ted Williams>>>>>both

Juan Pierre passed Joe D on the all time hit list
Hes still playing
