Book Reviews of Mickey Mantle: Stories & Memorabilia from a Lifetime with the Mick
Book Review: its always great to get more Mickey Mantle product!
Summary: 5 Stars
Okay...I just purchased this and have browsed it several times and read a few passages. This isn't some sort of "Tell all" ..its more of a valentine to the most beloved ball player of my generation. Being a Southern Californian...and growing up a Dodger fan...I still was a fan of "The Mick".
I don't know how many of these photos have been published in other books on Mickey, but the reproductions are very nice. The bonus material or memorabilia...is very cool...letters to his wife....etc..reproduced. Obviously this is a family sponsored product so don't expect any dirt..and who wants it at this point?
Frankly, maybe its my short attention span but the style of this book suits me better than some detailed life story. The chapters can be digested rather easily and in the end...its a lovely coffee table book/tribute. I picked it up a Borders...flipped through it and walked to the register....without viewing the price...
If you are a fan of Mickey...you will not be dissapointed.
If you are looking for the life story....look elswhere.
Summary of Mickey Mantle: Stories & Memorabilia from a Lifetime with the Mick
Some say he was the greatest ever?a rare combination of power and speed who made acrobatic catches and never failed to get a hit when his team needed it most. The son of an Oklahoma miner, he was the anchor in center field for a Yankees team that won seven world championships. He was three times the league MVP, he won the Triple Crown in 1956, and in 1961 he dueled teammate Roger Maris in a thrilling race for the single-season home run record. He was so famous that to identify him people didn?t even bother to say his last name or even all of his first. He was known, simply, as The Mick.Mickey Mantle is the first-ever illustrated biography published with the support of the Mantle family. Covering his entire life from his impoverished youth to his glorious career to his poignant sunset years, it features rare photos and never-before-seen memorabilia, with 10 pull-out, removable facsimiles. It also includes intimate stories collected over the years by his sons and his friend, writer Mickey Herskowitz? stories that will be new even to the most avid Mantle enthusiasts. This book is an absolute must for Mantle fans of every stripe, Yankees fans, and baseball fans in general.
