Best Mickey Mantle Book ?
 

Was at a recent Library Sale and seen many books about Mantle. Any opinions of what is considered the best book written about Mickey Mantle . Thanks

This is not about Mantle, but I really enjoyed his Education of a baseball player, 1967 when I read it years ago.

Jane Leavy's Book is the best in my opinion

I'll second this. But a warning..Leavy portraits Mantle honestly, warts and all.

but she does it in 742 pages so everything or just about comes out

Classic Mantle by Buzz Bissinger and some amazing photos

Think it does a fantastic job showing the duality of Mantle the Man and Mantle the American Hero.

I'm not going to play armchair psychologist, but you read about his mental state, and his mind had to have been a dark place. I remember seeing an old interview on the Dick Cavett show, where Mantle admitted that he wet the bed until he was 16. There had to be some form of abuse or trauma of some kind to The Mick, because that isn't exactly normal.
