Mantle reflects on 1960 World Series and the Pirates
Mickey Mantle recalls injuries and his Yankees' 1960 season ending with a dramatic World Series. He notes a 15 game win streak, a record 193 team homers, a strong infield, and Casey Stengel's pitching decisions including Whitey Ford. The Pirates rallied in game 7's late innings, Tony Kubek injured by a bad hop, and the series finishing in a wild, back-and-forth finish.

Negotiations Edge Toward Details as Baseball Strike Prolongs
As the 11th day of a strike unfolds, union head Donald Fehr and owner negotiator Richard Ravitch prepare to set ground rules for the next talks. Fehr jokes about shaping the table as sessions approach, while both sides plan separate talks before a Wednesday return to full bargaining. The stalemate, 14 games canceled Sunday and total losses mounting, keeps salary cap debates alive with varied owner stance. Braves officials note absence of a commissioner aids cost certainty, while players and staff occupy time away from field duties.
