Best Answer

Mickey Mantle was fortunate to have the great Joe DiMaggio as one of his NY Yankee teammates. He admired the fact that DiMaggio played the game his own way. Even his esteemed manager Casey Stengel never had to give Joe DiMaggio any instructions. Mantle also commented that DiMaggio seemed like a loner and kept mostly to himself rather than being "one of the guys". Mantle admired Joe's personal style both on and off the field.
