Book Reviews of A Great Teammate: The Legend of Mickey Mantle
Book Review: A great book, but...
Summary: 4 Stars
Swearington has written an excellent and inspiring book about Mickey Mantle. I especially appreciated the way the book is organized, which makes it easy and enjoyable to follow the development of Mickey's long and eventful career.
My only complaint is the title. The book is not about Mickey as a teammate. It is about Mickey. In the Preface the author tells us that Mickey "always wanted to be remembered as a great teammate" (pg. xi). I was dissappointed that Mickey's impact as a teammate is almost absent from this otherwise excellent book.
I highly recommend you buy and read this book. But if you are looking for insights into Mickey as a teammate, you may be dissappointed. I am still waiting for somebody to write that book.
