Bestselling sportswriter Peter Golenbock knew Mickey Mantle, Billy
Martin, Jim Bouton, Joe Pepitone, and many of Mantle's friends,
family, and teammates. While Mickey was a good person at heart, he
had a dark side that went far beyond his well-known alcoholism and
infidelities. In this fictional portrait, Mickey--now in
heaven--realizes that he's carrying a huge weight on his shoulders,
as he did throughout his life. He needs to unburden himself of all
the horrible things he did and understand for himself why he did
them. He wants to make amends to the people he hurt, especially
those dear to him; the fans he ignored and alienated; and the
public who made him into a hero. Mickey never felt he deserved the
adulation, could never live up to it, and tried his damnedest to
prove it to everyone. The fact that he was human made the public
love him that much more. Through the recounting of his exploits on
and off the field, some of them side-splittingly hilarious, some
disturbing, and others that will make your head shake in sympathy,
Mickey comes clean in this novel in the way he never could in real
life. 7: The Mickey Mantle Novel puts you inside the locker room
and bedroom with an American Icon every bit as flawed and human as
we are.
