ESPN on
Mickey Mantle: America's Prodigal Son
'Tony Castro has a best-seller on his
hands...' By DOUG KRIKORIAN "This
is a fresh, insightful, honest look into the life of an iconic figure
on the American athletic landscape by an author who obviously
researched the subject deeply. While Mickey Mantle's drinking excesses
became well-documented public knowledge late in his life, Castro
details Mantle's flawed character with many never-told-before
incidents that make this book an absorbing page-turner. The Mickey
Mantle who comes out of this narrative remains a heroic jock, but
Castro portrays a terribly self-destructive human being who managed to
hit a baseball far better than he managed his own life." To read other
