Mickey Mantle

by Howard Weinstein

Overview

While Mickey Mantle’s father’s days were spent working in the Oklahoma mines, he spent his nights dreaming of a better life for his son—as a major league ballplayer. In this touching biography, students learn how Mantle eventually fulfilled his father’s hopes, becoming the star center fielder of the fabled New York Yankees. Winning twelve pennants and seven championships in his first fourteen seasons, Mantle hit more home runs than any switch-hitter in history and set World Series records that may forever stand.
