The tragic story of one of my favorite baseball players, Mickey Mantle. Hopefully youngsters and others who see this will not fall into the same traps in life that cost Mickey his health and ultimately his life.

The answer is (A) Omar Vizquel with 9 Gold Gloves.

Here are some interesting facts about Omar:

* Currently plays for the San Francisco Giants; meaning he theoretically could pass Ozzie for the most Gold Gloves

* He is a skilled painter and sculptor.

* He is an inspired rock drummer, and a competent salsa percussionist.

* He designed his own house and has his own lines of designer clothing and nutritional food.

* He is a social activist in his community and donates his artworks to various arts education programs.
