Mantle Has Anemia

Compiled From Wire Services

Baseball great Mickey Mantle received blood transfusions to help combat anemia brought on by the chemotherapy being used to fight his lung cancer.

Mantle was readmitted to Baylor University Medical Center for the treatment and was listed in stable condition late Friday. Doctors said Mantle was in good spirits and is expected to be released by Monday.
