How do they compare According to Roy campanella, a close observer of the two in the recent World Series, this is the way they "Man, you can't pitch to that guy He's tougher to get out than Mantle.

Sure Mantle will hit more home runs but that Yogi Is the tougher batter. I'd rather see my pitcher pitch to Mantle any day than that Yogi. He hits anything he can reach." As an example Campanella pointed out differences of the wo lacing Brooklyn 27 game winner, Don Newcombe.
