Mickey Mantle: Yankee Slugger by Milton J. Shapiro

No rookie in baseball history arrived at his first major league training camp with as much fanfare as that accorded Mickey Mantle. And, because of the unprecedented publicity, of the crown of greatness prematurely given to him, no other ball player has been so closely watched as Mickey Mantle. In the years that followed he fulfilled nearly all that was expected of him, and he has won the sincere plaudits of his early critics. Fair vintage condition, some wear on the cover as shown.
