Introduction Details “Mickey Mantle: A Life in Memorabilia” is a museum tour in a book. Through one of a kind memorabilia, Mickey Mantle’s life is shown as never before. Considered to be the greatest switch hitter of all time, this Yankee Hall of Famer is lovingly remembered in such a way in this book that his sons, Danny and David, both agreed that their Dad ‘would have been proud of this book’ and Steven Lane’s Mantle memorabilia collection. Starting with Mantle’s earliest known autograph from 4th grade in 1939; to the very first baseball he ever signed at age 17; to his minor league batting title trophy in 1950 that led to his call up to the Yankees; game used bats; contracts; Player of the Year awards; his 1963 glove now on loan to the Yankee’s Museum; his 535th home run ball ‘grooved’ to him by Denny McLain that put ‘the Mick’ in third place behind only Babe Ruth and Willie Mays on the lifetime home run list and everything in between. This book is a treasure trove of Mantle family mementos that comprise the Steven Lane Collection. Anyone who is a fan of Mickey Mantle, the New York Yankees or baseball history in general will thoroughly enjoy this book and will be proud to include it in their baseball library. “I know my Dad would have been proud of this book and Steve’s collection” – Danny Mantle “I love this book, so many memories.
