To everyone who truly loves the game, Mickey Mantle epitomizes
the golden age of baseball, when the mighty New York Yankees
indisputably ruled, appearing in an unprecedented twelve World
Series in fourteen years! In this intimate memoir, Mantle recounts
the joys and trials of his rise from rural Oklahoma youngster to
the pinnacle of baseball greatness.
In "All My Octobers," the one and only Mick relives every one
of his World Series appearances -- from the 1951 battle when he
played alongside an aging Joe DiMaggio to his three-home-run
performance in the 1964 showdown. In addition to the on-field
heroics, Mantle talks candidly about the injuries, the alcohol, the
parties and celebrations, and the terrible toll they can take on a
young athlete's life. But most of all, it is a remembrance of
October greatness, of postseason pyrotechnics . . . and a loving
appreciation of a team of titans that achieved something marvelous
and unequaled to this day.
