Mickey Mantle's Cow Story

 Mickey's standard opening story when he was speaking was his cow story.  He and Billy Martin had new rifles and wanted to try them out hunting deer.   Mickey knew a doctor who had a place around San Antonio.  With Billy still in the car the doctor says they can hunt on his property but first he tells Mickey that he has mule who is old and needs putting down.  Mickey decides to play a joke on Billy, tells him the doctor is mean and won't let them hunt so Mickey tells Billy he is going to shoot the doctor's mule.  So he goes to the barn & BLAM down goes the mule.  All of a sudden BLAM BLAM BLAM!  Billy comes running says I just shot three of his cows for good measure.
