Description

There is a time when all the important choices in our lives are before us. It is a time pregnant with the excitement of adolescence and the promise of adulthood. This story is about that time. Baseball fans, even the casual ones, know something of Mickey Mantle - the tape measure home runs, the blazing speed, the nagging injuries. His story of becoming The Mick is part of American lore - the ultimate baseball father creating a legendary performer. Mickey became a great baseball player, one of the best ever, and certainly the finest switch-hitting slugger of all time.Mutt's Dream presents the psychological and sociological threads that wove the tapestry of Mickey Mantle's life. His father's dream shaped who Mickey became--from humble roots in rural Oklahoma to a baseball legend. Elvin "Mutt" Mantle saw only a few options in life for himself. If his circumstances had been different, he might have become a Major League player himself, but he felt family obligations had forced him to give up his chance. He wanted to give Mickey his dream, so he did exactly that. Some have said that the obsessive and unrelenting pressure he put on Mickey caused psychological damage to his son. Mutt knew only that he was giving Mickey the best chance to have a far better life than his, and the hope of giving his dream to Mickey was what kept Mutt going.There are many books detailing Mantle's professional career and life after baseball. Mutt's Dream, Making The Mick is unique. Thoroughly researched and enhanced with the dialogue of a playwright, it is an account of the background story of Mickey's life until the day he signed his first professional contract. Most fans already know the rest of the story. They know about his accomplishments on the baseball field, and about his later problems--his alcoholism, his womanizing, and his controversial final days. But how did he get that way?
