Lost In the Louvre

I believe in reincarnation. I believe we've lived previous lives and further believe we looked exactly the same. After twelve hours of Paris museums for the second straight day, I was punchy and starting to lose it in the Louvre. I decided to go off on my own in one of the Roman galleries, where there were two hundred busts of significant Romans and find a few earlier lives lived by reincarnated famous and semi-famous people. I found three without breaking a sweat.
.
Mutt Mantle.
.
I'll bet, you don't know Mutt Mantle? And if you do, I'll bet you don't know what he looked like? I do.
.
Mutt was Mickey Mantle's father, and that meant Mutt was as important to me as my father. Mickey was God, Mutt was God's father, Whitey Ford was the Holy Ghost. I challenge you to find a photo of Mutt Mantle and not agree with me, that this bust is the Mick's Dad in an earlier life.
