As another aside regarding Mickey Mantle.

He personally requested Roy Clark perform the song "Yesterday When I Was Young" at his funeral.

It is one of my all time favorite songs. I remember it from when I was a kid. But as we age it becomes, in my opinion, better and more relevant.

If you're interested you can listen to it on YouTube. Be sure to listen to the Roy Clark version.
