It undoubtedly says more about me than anything, but I've actually been fretting about these two leaving and what I'd do if one retired but not the other. Thankfully, the game helped a brother out and so it is that they came in together back in 1951 and get to leave in the same fashion. Here's hoping we get the nice ribbon on the present and they get to go to the HoF together as well.
In honour of these two legends of the game, the annual Rookie of the Year award will henceforth be called the Mantle-Mays Medal.
