Dr. Joan Fallon's Letter To Mickey Mantle Is Heartwarming,
By
This review is from: Letters to Mickey: By the Friends & Family of Mickey Mantle (Hardcover)
Just a sample of one of the many endearing letters to Mickey Mantle.Dear Mr. Mantle, I send you my wishes for a speedy recovery, and a new life as you begin to feel stronger and stronger. I can't say enough about how you made my childhood something special. As a young woman shut out by the little league world in the 1960's, my only salvation, my only way to escape from a world and a home where my father drank was to watch you and the Yankees on television, and the occasional thrilling trip to the Stadium. I can not tell you how special you are and always will be to me. I admired you when you struggled with your legs, watching your transition from the outfield to the infield during those years. I collected your trading cards with the little boys in my class, always looking for a Mickey. Today as a doctor, I have tremendous compassion and understanding about what you are presently undergoing. I offer you my prayers and my daily thoughts for your recovery. Mr. Mantle, you are our treasure, and I wanted to write this letter for 30 years now and finally I am doing it. Thank you for hanging in there for me to get this opportunity. Thank you for getting sober, thank you for passing that sobriety to your boys, and thank you for helping me dream through a childhood that at times was very hard. With admiration, and love, Dr. Joan Fallon
