To all Americans, Mickey Mantle epitomizes the Golden Age of American sport. He is the quintessential hero of a time when much was right with the world, and nothing was ever wrong with the New York Yankees. In All my Octobers, Mickey Mantle recounts his career as an athletic phenomenon in the greatest dynasty baseball has ever seen: the days when he and his Yankee teammates made it to twelve World Series in fourteen years. In this unparalleled memoir, Micky Mantle recounts both the joys and agonies of his rise from small-town Oklahoma, where he listened to the World Series on the radio, to his successes on the field and the many injuries he overcame in order to make it to twelve World Series. From the 1951 Series, when he played alongside the aging Joe DiMaggio, to 1964 when he belted three Series home runs, Mantle relives every one of his World Series games, moment by moment. These were the games that counted, when the nation held it's breath on every pitch and Mantle and his Yankee teammates rose to the occasion and achieved the legendary string of championships that remains unsurpassed, even in this era of superstar athletes. Mantle also speaks candidly about the parties and celebrations that were part of a young professional athlete's life style. Hardback Ed with Dust Jacket 1994
