MICKEY MANTLE 
Mickey Mantle was one of the greatest baseball players of all time. He played for the New York 
Yankees in their years of glory. From the time Mantle began to play professionally in 1951 to his last 
year in 1968, baseball was the most popular game in the United States. For many people, Mantle 
symbolized the hope, prosperity, and confidence of America at that time. 
Mantle was a fast and powerful player, a “switch-hitter” who could bat both right-handed and 
left-handed. He won game after game, one World Series championship after another, for his team. 
He was a wonderful athlete, but this alone cannot explain America’s fascination with him. 
Perhaps it was because he was a handsome, red-haired country boy, the son of a poor miner 
from Oklahoma. His career, from the lead mines of the West to the heights of success and fame, 
was a fairy-tale version of the American dream. Or perhaps it was because America always loves a 
“natural”: a person who wins without seeming to try, whose talent appears to come from an inner 
grace. That was Mickey Mantle. 
But like many celebrities, Mickey Mantle had a private life that was full of problems. He played 
without complaint despite constant pain from injuries. He lived to fulfill his father’s dreams and drank 
to forget his father’s early death.
