The Classic Mantle

<DIV><p> In <i>The Classic Mantle</i>, acclaimed sportswriter Buzz Bissinger tells the story of Mickey Mantle’s unforgettable career. Mantle has long been considered one of baseball’s most memorable figures—playing his entire 18-year baseball career for the New York Yankees (1951–68), winning 3 American League MVP titles, playing in 20 All-Star games, and winning 7 World Series. Today, more than 40 years after his retirement, he still holds 6 World Series records, including most home runs (18). Bissinger goes beyond the statistics to bring Mantle to life, and stunning photographs by Marvin E. Newman make this book a fitting tribute to Mantle’s career and his lasting impact on the sport of baseball.<BR> <br> Praise for <I>The Classic Mantle</I>:<BR> <br> “Even if you're a Yankee hater, you can't help but love this book—and Mickey Mantle.” —<I>The Buffalo News </I><BR>  </p></div>
