Mickey Mantle Quotes

“It was as though the very process of maturation with him had been reversed, so that with experience he seemed to grow more, not less, childish.”
― David Falkner, The Last Hero: The Life of Mickey Mantle

“To write a book about Mickey Mantle and not to show people who he really was doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. So I decided the only way to do this is call it a novel and plow full-speed ahead as to what my interpretation and my estimation of who he was and what was troubling him. This is a very complicated book. It’s hardly just about sex.”
― Peter Golenbock
