The Last Boy
by Jane Leavy
 
Airs May 19 - June 27, 2011
 
The Last Boy is the biography of Mickey Mantle.  Author Jane Leavy reveals the man behind the hero worship and the coast-to-coast smile who lived a wrenching childhood, crippling injuries, and a genetic predisposition to alcoholism.

In this biography, the author chronicles her search to find out more about the person he was and, given what she discovers, to explain his mystifying hold on a generation of baseball fans who were seduced by that lopsided, gap-toothed grin.

Drawing on more than five hundred interviews with friends and family,
teammates, and opponents, she delivers the definitive account of Mantle's life,
mining the mythology of The Mick for the true story of a luminous and illustrious
talent with an achingly damaged soul... The story of a boy who would never grow
up.
