The most recent book of note on Mickey Mantle was The Last Boy by Jane Leavy, and it doesn’t pull punches about getting into the more salacious aspects of the slugger’s life. However, a real intimacy goes as far as the author’s access. “She spent one night with him,” says Italian AmericanAuthor Tom Molito of Pound Ridge, NY. But the release of his new book doesn’t put “the Mick” at a distance for all those that adored him.
“It’s told from the perspective of someone who was a business partner but also spent a fair amount of time with him as a friend,” said Molito of Mickey Mantle: Inside and Outside the Lines.
