The Last Boy
The Last Boy: Mickey Mantle and the End of America's Childhood | Jane Leavy
3 posts | 3 read | 2 to read
Award-winning sports writer Jane Leavy follows her New York Times runaway bestseller Sandy Koufax with the definitive biography of baseball icon Mickey Mantle. The legendary Hall-of-Fame outfielder was a national hero during his record-setting career with the New York Yankees, but public revelations of alcoholism, infidelity, and family strife badly tarnished the ballplayer's reputation in his latter years. In The Last Boy, Leavy plumbs the depths of the complex athlete, using copious first-hand research as well as her own memories, to show why The Mick remains the most beloved and misunderstood Yankee slugger of all time.

#TBRtemptation post! A recent addition to my library. For all of you baseball fans and those you may know. Can't hurt to get dad his #FathersDay gift a little early. By the way, one of my favorite places to eat in NYC was Mickey Mantle's on Central Park South by the Plaza Hotel. They had *the* best cheesesteaks and curly fries. I miss that place 😔. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎
