Casual fans have never heard of him, but Silvera has his own following. He was close friends with Mickey Mantle—“Nice guy, great ballplayer” Silvera says of the Mick—and warmed up Don Larsen before his legendary perfect game in the 1956 World Series. Silvera even played with Joe DiMaggio, the Yankee link from the Gehrig/Ruth days to the fifties and sixties of Mickey Mantle...

I was talking to Bill Leiderman, the owner of Mickey Mantle's on Central Park South, during his midday radio show that's broadcast from the restaurant, and he told me all the guys-the players-who come in for a drink say that pills are still a huge part of the game.
