The Mick
Mickey Mantle and Herb Gluck - 1986 Penguin Publishing (USA)
The style of writing does not call for an instant literary classic but the book is fun and anecdotal. As it is an autobiography of The Mick by The Mick, there is a lot that is not revealed (especially compared to The Last Boy by Jane Leavy) but Mantle is frank in his storytelling.
