"Mutt Mantle was a constant in Mickey’s life, even after he died. He would dream about his dad constantly. He also 'saw' him at games. When he did see him, Castro writes, Mickey would “swing from his soul.”

"And, that is what Castro has done in this book – swing and write with his soul.

"Mantle: The Best There Ever Was is a masterpiece and an instant baseball classic."
