Filled with stunning photos, this book by the #1 New York Timesβbestselling sportswriter tells the story of Mickey Mantleβs legendary career.
Mickey Mantle has long been considered one of baseball's most memorable figuresβplaying his entire eighteen-year baseball career for the New York Yankees (1951-68), winning three American League MVP titles, playing in twenty All-Star games, and winning seven World Series.
Today, decades after his retirement, he still holds six World Series records, including most home runs (18). Buzz Bissinger, Pulitzer Prize winner and acclaimed author of Friday Night Lights and Three Nights in August, goes beyond the statistics to bring Mantle to life, and striking photographs by Marvin E. Newman make this book a fitting tribute to Mantleβs career and his lasting impact on the sport of baseball.
