The Mantle Family Reveals Its Problems To Help Others,
By C. W. Emblom "Bill Emblom" (Ishpeming, Michigan USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: A Hero All His Life: A Memoir by the Mantle Family (Audio Cassette)
If you are looking for a book on the baseball exploits of Mickey Mantle try another book. Mickey, his wife, and sons reveal the difficulties they endured as they each battled alcohol addiction which led to numerous other problems in their lives. It may seem like a depressing book, but the story is told in a way that other families might avoid the pitfalls the Mantle family suffered. They are to be commended for their candidness.
5.0 out of 5 stars
A true touching portrait of one of america's greatest heroes,
By steve grinstead 103640.14@compuserve.com (sierra vista, arizona) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Hero All His Life: A Memoir by the Mantle Family (Audio Cassette)
After reading this book on Mickey Mantle, it showed all of us what a true hero he really was. Yes there were the incidents of alcohol and unfaithfulness with his wife, but the ability to see his wrongs and his struggle to correct those earlier problems would make anyone root for this midwest small town icon.
