82. Baseball Strike place in Deuce of Clubs Purgatory is reserved for mickey mantle, for as any parochialschool kid will tell you, it s a mortal sin to steal baseball cards from http://www.deuceofclubs.com/write/mantle.htm

Mickey Mantle celebrates after cheating a young boy out of forty grand. Inheriting Mickey's Mantle: Baseball on Strike by Deuce of Clubs My mother likes to tell how, at the end of "The Star- Spangled Banner," a preschool-aged Clark never failed to howl, "PLAY BALL!" By the end of an obsessive pre-teen career I had managed to accumulate over 20,000 baseball cards. I loved baseball. I still love baseball. Like lots of people, I taped Ken Burns' Baseball documentary. Unlike lots of people, I actually watched itall eighteen hours of it. And one thing I learned was that baseball isn't what it once was. Not that the game itself has changed much; it hasn't. But today's major leaguers are unworthy caretakers of the gamewhich is really saying something, considering that the caretakers of baseball's past include such heroically-flawed individuals as Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, and the John the Baptist of today's prima donna big leaguers, Mickey Mantle. An especially toasty place in Deuce of Clubs Purgatory is reserved for Mickey Mantle, for as any parochial school kid will tell you, it's a mortal sin to steal baseball cards from a grade-schooler. Especially if you're an adult You see, I used to send cards to players for their autographsalways being sure to include a stamped return envelope so that all the guy had to do was sign his name, seal an envelope, and drop it in the mail. I wasn't trying to make a buckthis was before the days of evil, backstabbing, kid-cheating adult card dealers. I was just a guileless little baseball worshipper. Besides, most of the players I wrote to were retired, and glad of any attention they got. One particularly lonely ex-player even put me on his Christmas card list.

Review by Ron Kaplan As this review is written, the Yankees have just won the American League pennant for the first time in fifteen years. The next stop is the World Series, a venue which Mickey Mantle saw 12 times in his first 14 seasons. The original "Mr. October," Mantle had long been an American icon/hero. But his life took on a new essence following admission of his addiction problems, his stint at the Betty Ford Clinic, and finally, his battle against cancer. Following his death last August, he once again become the subject of numerous accounts of his life. Doubtlessly, some of these projects were put together hastily to maximize on the commercial impact his passing would have. "Letters to Mickey" is a collection culled from the thousands received by the ailing Yankee over the last few years of his life. Most came during his hospital stays, although there are some from his days at the Ford Clinic.

I wanted to learn more about Mickey Mantle after seeing Billy Crystals HBO movie 61*. Since Mantles career had long ended before I was born, my only knowledge of Mantle was his name and that he was a famous baseball player. I didnt even know why he was a famous baseball player. If I ever thought about it, which I did not, I wouldve guessed he broke some kind of baseball record. Well, its obvious to me now that before I read Tony Castros book "Mickey Mantle:Americas Prodigal Son," I had absolutely no idea of what I was missing. And, I wish I found out sooner, while Mantle was still alive!!! This book opened my eyes to a lot about Mickey Mantle, the time in which he played ball, the legacy of the New York Yankees, and baseball, in general. In regards to Mantle, I never knew what a powerhouse he really was with the ability to hit a baseball over 500ft numerous times. Add to that the fact that he could hit from both sides of the plate and the kind of speed he had to get around the bases. His athletic ability alone was astonishing to me. I really wish I were born earlier so that I could have seen him play.
