Goodreads asked Tony Castro:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Tony Castro I wrote it, I suppose you could say, because Merlyn Mantle, Mickey's widow, wanted me to write it. "You need to be Mickey's voice from the grave," Merlyn said to me in her last interview before her death in 2009. "You need to say it and champion it: that Mickey Mantle was the greatest baseball player of all time."
