I really do believe I would be way up at the top of everything if I hadnāt been injured. When I was healthy, I really believe I was the best of anyone I ever saw play.āMickey Mantle, reflecting on his career
Mickey Mantle is one of baseballās all-time greats. Playing for the New York Yankees for his entire professional career, Mantle was named to the All-Star team for 11 consecutive seasons, won three MVP awards, and was a seven-time World Series champion. He quickly became an icon who achieved hero status even while playing through injuries for most of his career.
In Mantle: The Best There Ever Was, Tony Castro makes the impassioned argument that Mickey Mantle truly was the greatest ballplayer of all time. Acclaimed by the New York Times as the definitive biographer of baseballās fabled number 7, Castro shares many of his personal conversations with Mantle, demystifying the legend and revealing intimate, never-before-published details from Mantleās personal life. In addition, Castro offers illuminating new insights into Mantleās extraordinary career, including the head-turning conclusion based on the evolution of analytics that the beloved Yankee switch-hitting slugger may ultimately win acclaim as having fulfilled the weighty expectation once placed on him: being even greater than Babe Ruth.
Drawing from hundreds of interviews with ex-teammates, friends, and family, Castro masterfully blends Mantleās public and private selves to present a fully rounded portrait of this complex, misunderstood national hero.
