4.9/5 (32636 ratings)

Description:In Mantle: The Best There Ever Was, Tony Castro brings to life the man who is arguably not only the greatest ballplayer of his time but also the greatest ballplayer of all time. Castro offers illuminating new insight into Mantle's extraordinary career, including the head-turning conclusion based on the evolution of analytics that the beloved Yankee switch-hitting slugger may ultimately win acclaim as having fulfilled the weighty expectations once placed on him: of being greater than even Babe Ruth. Castro also adds intimate, never-before-published details from Mantle's personal life, as the author received unprecedented access to Mantle's widow, Merlyn, who hopes to rescue her husband's historical reputation from the public revelations of alcoholism, infidelity, and family strife. Castro offers the whole sweep of Mantle's turbulent life: his lonely, brutal upbringing with an over-bearing father and sexually abusive half-sister, his brilliant young baseball exploits, his titanic blowups from his frustration at not meeting expectations, his touching but doomed love affair with an actress in New York, his glorious seasons as a Yankee, and his alcoholism that destroyed his family and ultimately killed him. Throughout, Castro blends Mantle's public and private selves to present a fully-rounded portrait of this complex, misunderstood national hero.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
