“In the immortal words of Willie Stargell, trying to hit Koufax was like “trying to drink coffee with a fork.”
― Sandy Koufax: A Lefty's Legacy
― Sandy Koufax: A Lefty's Legacy
“When Mantle faced the cameras for the last time a month before his death, he was a husk of a man, shrunken by cancer. The stiff brim of his 1995 All-Star Game cap dwarfed his brow. There was no Mantle Roll. He looked straight into the cameras and told us all, 'Don't be like me.'
The transformation of The Mick parallels the transformation of American culture from willful innocence to knowing cynicism. To tell his story is to tell ours.”
― The Last Boy: Mickey Mantle and the End of America's Childhood
