:22:01
I take her back to the hotel.
:22:03
We start gettin' undressed,
fumbling around.
:22:05
All of a sudden, she stops,
looks me dead in the eye...
:22:08
...and she says,
"I thought you was a homo."
:22:12
I said, "What the hell you talkin' about?"
:22:15
She said, "I heard
you was a switch hitter!"
:22:23
- Put it on my tab.
- No, Mickey, shit.
:22:25
You've been getting 'em all. Ill get it.
:22:27
Get outta here, I got it.
:22:29
A toast to Roger Maris,
who's on a hitting streak...
:22:32
...'cause he's getting all them fastballs
hitting in front of me.
:22:36
- You son of a bitch.
- Roger.
:22:40
I heard DiMaggio's throwing
the first ball tomorrow.
:22:43
- Yeah?
- Joe D.?
:22:44
- Himself.
- No shit.
:22:48
Damn it.
:22:52
Im gonna get a real drink. Be right back.
:22:56
- I shouldn't have said anything.
- What'd you say?
:23:03
What?
:23:05
Something between Mickey and Joe?
:23:09
When Mickey first came up, at 18,
they said he'd be the next DiMaggio.
:23:13
No, better than DiMaggio.
:23:15
Of course, Joe D. Didn't like that too much.
Nobody's got more pride than him.
:23:19
He wasn't friendly to start.
He wouldn't say a word to me.
:23:22
Not one word that whole year.
That wasn't right.
:23:24
Mickey was never that way.
:23:25
When I came up, he was the first
to take me out with the guys.
:23:29
Spring training in my rookie year,
we're all down in St. Pete...
:23:32
...they wouldn't let me
eat in the restaurant.
:23:34
So Mickey he gets his food, comes out
to the bus, and has dinner with me.
:23:39
- You think DiMaggio would have did that?
- He finally talked to him once in a Series.
:23:43
- Wasn't much of a conversation.
- Ill say.
:23:46
Remember the '51 Series
against the Giants?
:23:49
- I guess. What happened?
- DiMaggio's in center, Mickey's in right.
:23:52
Casey goes to Mickey and says,
"Take everything you can get...
:23:55
"...'cause the old man can't
run like he used to."
:23:58
So, Willie Mays gets up, right?
