[QUOTE="Nick Danger, post: 3354768, member: 33407"] [SIZE=5]Many of you may remember this but way back in 1995, Mickey Mantle was diagnosed with liver cancer, which required a controversial liver transplant at Baylor Medical Center in Dallas. Because of Mantle's notoriety and the controversial nature of the transplant, there was significant public interest, both inside and outside the sports world, in the event, which resulted in an infamous press conference in Dallas, just after the transplant. I say "infamous" because of a similar [I][B]"Doh!"[/B][/I] moment during the press conference, when a similarly clueless [I]sports reporter[/I] asked the Baylor physicians present "if the liver donor was still alive" :confused:, apparently hoping to interview them for a future story![/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
