Mickey Mantle is on the wall of my son's room. Let us keep his name far, far away from anything even remotely related to twi. Mickey Mantle is so above and more supreme.

Just what I was thinking!!!!!
I'm so terribly glad that nothing from TWI was ever referred to as a "Maris" of (God forbid) a "Stengel".
Or a mantle could be a very hot place, the destination of mogster types. It was merely mis-spoken. Not "passed the mantle".. maybe it was passing over INTO the mantle (a very hot place).
The mantle is a part of an astronomical object. The interior of the Earth, similar to the other terrestrial planets, is chemically divided into layers. The mantle is a highly viscous layer directly under the crust, and above the outer core. Earth's mantle is ~2,890 km thick (1,800 miles)[1] rocky shell comprising approximately 70% of Earth's volume. It is predominantly solid and overlies the Earth's iron-rich core, which occupies about 30% of Earth's volume. Past episodes of melting and volcanism at the shallower levels of the mantle have produced a very thin crust of crystallized melt products near the surface, upon which we live
A "stole" seems sort of appropriate, considering the whole of TWI was founded on stolen material.
The thing over a fireplace is actually a mantelpiece rather than just a "mantle". Slightly different spelling, probably archaic but same root.
Also, a mantle is a sort of wick for a Tilley lamp and such like. Dictionary defines is as "a small dome shaped or cylindrical mesh, used to increase illumination in a gas or oil lamp by becoming incandescent."
Perhaps that's what made LCM incandescent with rage sometimes.

That would be THE unforgivable sin.

The original "passing of the Mantle"
Joe Dimaggio retired in 1951 handing over the cult leadership type position of Centerfield for the Yankees to a young Oklahoman
A few years later Joe married Marilyn Monroe , Mickey became an alcoholic
There's a parallel in there somewhere
