Mickey Mantle Inside and Outside the Lines is different from any other Mickey Mantle book. It was written for baseball lovers and Mantle fans who will live vicariously through its author Tom Molito.
The year 2016 is the 60th Anniversary of Mantle's Triple Crown season, which many baseball experts consider one of the best seasons ever for a ball player. Of course, those who experienced that season are decreasing in numbers. But Mickey Mantle is more popular than ever. The value of his memorabilia is second to none. He remains respected and admired for the redemptive quality of his life.
The book recalls never before told stories from Park Avenue, to Las Vegas, to Cooperstown; from television shoots to concerts and Mickey's restaurant on Central Park West.
Molito collaborated with the highly respected baseball historian Harold "Doc" Friend. The late Mr. Friend wrote for Bleacher Report (CBS) and uncovered previously unknown facts about Mantle's career - such as Mickey hitting the facade in Yankee Stadium three times not the reported twice. An entire chapter updates Mantle's career with present day statistical measures and comes to the indisputable conclusion that Mickey Mantle was even better than we thought!
The book utilizes archival newspaper articles, websites and more than 35 books on Mantle to weave the most complete, unique look at an American icon.

Okay, I'm from Boston and as a kid, I was a Ted Williams fan and not a Mickey Mantle fan. But as I get older I can appreciate Mickey and others of that era. I did choose to read the book.The story is about the Author and his fascination with Mickey. It is packed with the author's projects. Yes, Mickey is featured in it, but mostly as MIckey relates to the author.
I wanted more baseball and baseball anecdotes.

Mickey Mantle Inside and Outside the Lines (Audible Audio Edition) Tom Molito Greg Walston Black Rose Writing Books Reviews
I got this for my son who LOVES Mickey Mantle, thinking there couldn't be any book that wouldn't be good for him.
He said it wasn't that great, and it was more someone Mickey knew and they were reflecting on Mickeys life... and it had statistics and comparisons to today.
Pretty good book, a little too much about the author instead of Mickey Mantle.
A complete story of the one and only, Mick. After accurately depicting his great career, the author delves into his post-career life in great detail. This is, to many, the first time you may get to see this side. To me, this was most satisfying.
If you are a baseball fan, you will love this story about Mickey Mantle. The author got to know Mantle after his playing career and shares some great stories about the baseball legend.
As a native New Yorker growing up in the 50's it was easy to be a Yankees fan and even easier to be a Mickey Mantle fan. I had the good fortune to meet him on a couple of occasions in the 60's. He was gracious and the kind of a guy everyone wanted to be around. A good documentation of much of his life.
Gave insight into Mickey's personality that had not been featured in other Mantle books. Clearly the friendship and business relationship allowed the reader to really get into the icon (Mickey) that we all grew up loving and admiring. Really enjoyed it.
If you love baseball, if you like the Yankees, and if you are the least bit interested in Micky Mantle, you need to read this book. Why? Because it's informative, entertaining, and insightful. Mickey Mantle the young man and apprentice player, the Mick as heroic warrior master of the baseball universe, and the mature, aging, ailing, and dying American icon, are all illuminated. Tom Molito has written a hybrid work, part biography of the Mick, part baseball memoir; the combination is magical and powerfully instructive. I read straight through the book; it's that kind of engaging read--paradoxically, because it is not a straight chronological narrative and because we already know the outcome. What kept me reading, and I imagine what will keep many others turning pages is the vividness of Molito's recollections of not just his meetings with the Mick, but his reconstructions of games he attended, his evocative descriptions of players and games and fields, his sense of humor, and most of all his unabated lifelong passion for America's pastime. Molito is as knowledgeable about baseball as anyone. His love for his idol is contagious. And he knows how to tell a story--to make us feel we are there with him. Read this book. Buy copies for your baseball loving friends. You and they won't be disappointed.
