Acclaimed sportswriter Allen Barra exposes the uncanny parallels - and lifelong friendship - between two of the greatest baseball players ever to take the field. Culturally, Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays were light-years apart. Yet they were nearly the same age and almost the same size, and they came to New York at the same time. They possessed virtually the same talents and played the same position. They were both products of generations of baseball-playing families, for whom the game was the only escape from a lifetime of brutal manual labor. Both were nearly crushed by the weight of the outsized expectations placed on them, first by their families and later by America. Both lived secret lives far different from those their fans knew. What their fans also didn't know was that the two men shared a close personal friendship - and that each was the only man who could truly understand the other's experience.

I didn't know they were born in the same year even though Willie Mays lived 30 years longer than Mickey Mantle. It was really good because it did not sugar coat how wonderful they were. It was truthful and sometimes hard to accept. But they were humans.

Excellent Story

Simply put, this was a good book, though focusing on two ballplaying legends ÷inevitably leaves out some detail. Still, a solid hit for extra bases, in the vernacular of a baseball game, with some Home Runs, too!

The author was not as strong with this finished product as he was with "The Last Coach" - about the life of Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the nostalgia into this classic Era in MLB History.

WELL DONE, AUTHOR! Great Narration, too!

GRADE: A-

GOOD BOOK ON THE SEY-HEY KID & THE MICK!

Enjoyed every minute of it! A well done book. Loved all of it ! Highly recommend!

Gives much more insight to Mickey and Willie than I knew as a kid growing up idolizing them.
