Mickey Mantle, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

It has been a long time since there was so much talk of heroes around the sports scene.

Of interest to me was the fact that virtually no one suggested that Mantle was any less a great American hero in the face of his well documented alcoholism.
