The Last Boy: Mickey Mantle and the End of Americas Childhood Writer Summary: A biography of the life of Mickey Mantle, covering his family roots, baseball career, and post-career life, including his injuries, alcoholism, affairs, and something of a redemption at the end of his life. I think the most interesting thing about Jane Leavy's book is the play between Mickey Mantle, the real person, and Mickey Mantle, the hero, and how that play involves us, his admirers. But his relationship with his father, his marriage, his drinking and carousing, his inability to cope with fame and success each took a huge toll on Mick. Years after Mantle had retired and I was grown, I had a part-time job at Yankee Stadium and had the chance to rub elbows with many stars and superstars; the only time that I was ever awe-struck in the presence of any of these deities was when I met Mantle at an Mickey Mantle was my boyhood idol.

He would pull his cap down so far over his brow that you could hardly see his face. Be prepared to come away with a side of Mantle you may not have known at this level of detail.

I wanted to try to understand why after all these years, and all these revelations, Mickey Mantle still means so much to so many people—including me—and the first step was to get the basic facts straight. In spite of all of these "What ifs? Its also about his ugly post baseball career of self destructive behavior: the women, raucous behavior, and drinking, drinking, and more drinking.

  • A Review of the Post-WWII Baseball Card Industry
    A Review of the Post-WWII Baseball Card Industry Artie Zillante University of North Carolina Charlotte November 25th,2007 1Introduction If the attempt by The Upper Deck Company (Upper Deck) to purchase The Topps Company, Inc. (Topps) is successful, the baseball card industry will have come full circle in under 30 years. A legal ruling broke the Topps monopoly in the industry in 1981, but by 2007 the industry had experienced a boom and bust cycle1 that led to the entry and exit of a number of firms, numerous innovations, and changes in competitive practices. If successful, Upper Deck’s purchase of Topps will return the industry to a monopoly. The goal of this piece is to look at how secondary market forces have shaped primary market behavior in two ways. First, in the innovations produced as competition between manufacturers intensified. Second, in the change in how manufacturers competed. Traditional economic analysis assumes competition along one dimension, such as Cournot quantity competition or Bertrand price competition, with little consideration of whether or not the choice of competitive strategy changes. Thus, the focus will be on the suggested retail price (SRP) of cards as well as on the timing of product releases in the industry. Baseballcardshaveundergonedramaticchangesinthepasthalfcenturyastheindustryandthehobby have matured, but the last 20 years have provided a dramatic change in the types of products being produced. Prior to World War II, baseball cards were primarily used as premiums or advertising tools for tobacco and candy products. Information on the use of baseball cards as advertising tools in the tobacco and candy industries prior to World War II can be obtained from a number of different sources, including Kirk (1990) and most of the annual comprehensive baseball card price guides produced by Beckett publishing.

  • The Man Baseball Forgot Plays the Hand He's Dealt
    The Library of America • Story of the Week From The Great American Sports Page: A Century of Classic Columns (Library of America, 2019), pages 307–15. Originally published in The Washington Post (May 9, 1983). Headnote by John Schulian. JANE LEAVY Jane Leavy (b. 1951) couldn’t settle on a career until her mother forced the issue. “I want to be a sportswriter,” Leavy blurted, surprising them both. After writing her master’s thesis on Red Smith, she found her way to The Washington Post in 1979 and had a distinguished nine-year run in which she survived anti-Semitic football coaches and athletes with advanced cases of arrested development. Leavy has since scored big in the book world with her comic novel Squeeze Play and her best-selling biography Sandy Koufax: A Lefty’s Legacy. Another of her bestsellers, The Last Boy, may have had its genesis in her unsentimental but com- passionate 1983 Post profile of Mickey Mantle in retirement. At the very least, interviewing him led to a career-changing discovery: Her gender could be more of a help than a hindrance. “I think there were some things,” she said, “that none of these guys would tell men.” HHH The Man Baseball Forgot Plays the Hand He’s Dealt TLANTIC CITY—Mickey Mantle has these recurring dreams. He’s A gliding down the runway with a vaulter’s pole in his hands. And it’s strange because he’s never pole-vaulted in his life. Stranger still, his knees don’t hurt and he’s running as fast as he can.

EncyclopedicBy S. BassinThe book is very thorough, although it seemed to drag toward the end.Interesting that the source material seems to be largely Casey's interactions with reporters and writers. Relatively little from former players and coaches.The biggest failing is that I finished the book wondering about what made Stengel successful as a manager. Most of what I know is that he managed great players and handled the press well. I wanted more.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Stengel - Nobody's Fool!By Timothy SchumAppel's time with Stengel helped make this book a very interesting read but he obviously minutely researched the early career of the man and honored his playing career as well as his salad days at Yankee manager.

  • Marshall Fogel Has Amassed a Sports Collection Unrivaled in Condition and Value
    IN A LEAGUE OF HIS OWN MARSHALL FOGEL HAS AMASSED A SPORTS COLLECTION UNRIVALED IN CONDITION AND VALUE Interview by Hector Cantu Photographs by Wes Magyar FOR MARSHALL FOGEL, EVERY SPORTS ARTIFACT HAS A STORY. When he talks about Roy Campanella, he pulls out the catcher’s mitt that once belonged to the leg- endary player. It was a gift to a kid at Ebbets Field before the car accident that left the three-time MVP paralyzed. There’s an original photo of Lou Gehrig taken in 1939 when it was announced that the “Iron Horse” would not be playing anymore. “Just looking at Lou’s face tells the story,” Fogel says. “There’s so much emotion evoked by that photo.” Fogel also has bats used by Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle when they were battling for the home run record in 1961. There’s a check, circa 1841, from Alexander Cartwright, credited with inventing the modern game of baseball. There’s a mirror from Joe DiMaggio’s home, and Ty Cobb’s passport. Simply put, his baseball card and memorabilia collection – considered the best private baseball col- lection in existence – spans a comprehensive history of the national pastime and its impact on American culture. 42 HERITAGE MAGAZINe — WINTER 2009-10 Although he began in 1989, Marshall Fogel today is considered one of the hobby’s top collectors. HERITAGE MAGAZINe — WINTER 2009-10 43 Fogel owns more than 200 game-used bats from legends such as Honus Wagner, Joe DiMaggio, Ty Cobb, Mickey Mantle, Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth. “It’s the most complete game-used Hall of Fame collection,” Fogel says.
