News and Updates

ESPN on Mickey Mantle: America's Prodigal Son
'Tony Castro has a best-seller on his hands...'
By DOUG KRIKORIAN
"
This is a fresh, insightful, honest look into the life of an iconic figure on the American athletic landscape by an author who obviously researched the subject deeply. While Mickey Mantle's drinking excesses became well-documented public knowledge late in his life, Castro details Mantle's flawed character with many never-told-before incidents that make this book an absorbing page-turner. The Mickey Mantle who comes out of this narrative remains a heroic jock, but Castro portrays a terribly self-destructive human being who managed to hit a baseball far better than he managed his own life."
