Mick The Quick

Thurman Munson is generally considered the heart and soul of the Yankees teams of the late 70s, but there is something to be said for Mickey Rivers. I thought of him today when I read this interview. His numbers are here. If you spool down you can see his transaction history - I can't believe he was traded for Hoyt Wilhelm! I don't know why the Yanks ever got rid of him but they did get Oscar Gamble in the trade, and he was a good (and entertaining) player as well.
