Best Answer
osteomyelitis

Mickey Mantle was an all-around athlete at Commerce High School, playing Basketball, football, and Baseball. It was football playing that nearly ended his athletic career, and his life. Kicked in the shin during a game, Mantle's leg soon became infected with osteomyelitis, a crippling disease that would have been incurable just a few years earlier. A midnight ride to Tulsa enabled Mantle to be treated with newly available penicillin, saving his leg from amputation. He would suffer from the effects of the disease for the rest of his life, and it would lead to many other injuries that hampered his accomplishments.
