Mickey Mantle (Biography (a & E))

Mickey Mantle (Biography (a & E))

Park Lane Press
3.8/5 ( ratings)
Mickey Mantle's fame rested on an accomplishment that few would have thought possible: filling the shoes of the great Joe DiMaggio in Yankee Stadium's center field. However, Mantle embodied both the good and the bad of an American generation. A natural ballplayer, driven by his father, Mantle devoted his life to the game, but at a very high cost. Veteran sportswriter Phil Berger shows us the glorious Mantle and the alcoholic one, the good teammate and the absent father and husband, and all the other contradictions and complexities of one of America's greatest celebrity athletes.
