Mo’ Mantle, mo’ Mantle, mo’ Mantle

October 13, 2010

The NY Daily News begins a series of excerpts from Jane Leavy’s new book:

  • Richard Sandomir of The New York Times offers this piece. Expect a full-blown review in Sunday’s Book Review Section.
  • James Bailey wrote this review for Baseball America. Upshot: “Mission accomplished, and powerfully so.”
  • Entertainment Weekly appears to have a different opinion, grading the book a C+: “Despite the book’s ambitious title…, Leavy does little more than recount Mantle’s feats on the diamond and recycle the crude off-the-field behavior exposed in Jim Bouton’s Ball Four. There’s little new info…”
  • The Yankees-centric Pinstripe Alley’s take.
  • Around the Horn Baseball offers this somewhat immodest review (“MC3 Sports Media’s Around the Horn Baseball is here once again to provide you with a quality review [my emphasis] on a top-notch read for sports fans.”  We’ll be the judge of that…).
