Description: Mickey Mantle, All My Octobers: My Memories of 12 World Series When the Yankees Ruled Baseball. Harper Collins, 1994. ISBN 0-06-01777-0. 224 pages, many black and white images from Mantle's public and private life, carefully indexed. Book is in very good/near fine condition. Book boards and corners perfect, text block perfect, no writing or markings, spine tight. Appears unread. The only flaw is a small area of sticky smudge on the back of jacket above the bar code where someone has removed a label. It does not affect the book jacket's appearance. The pictures included are of the actual book being offered for sale. A lovely book by one of America's favorite sports icons! To everyone who truly loves the game of baseball, 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, Mantle 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. A wonderful book for collectors, fans, and those who love "the good old days" of baseball and remain Yankees fans through thick and thin.
