An absolute cherish for fans and historians; for the fans who might inquire alot of the same clips and stills and are thrilled to gawk something “recent”; for the historians who can delight in the high quality of the previously seen and (believed to be) first time viewing of the mutter.
It’s always large to scrutinize a non-overdubbed kinescope and here we have one from ‘52 with the Drawl of The Yankees calling a MM corrupt hit. (I could gaze these undoctored clips for days on slay…HBO, what do you believe? …) .

Besides the rare clips we have a chance to relish rarely seen Mantle relatives, and well-known co-workers such as Bill “Moose” Skowron, Joe Pepitone, and Phil Linz, who are not as visible as some other teammates in similiar packages, in well-produced interview segments.
I was particularly touched by a 1968 (his final year) press conference including a young fan; and what was possibly his very last public statement in 1995.
The viewer/fan might net this documentary remarkably “frank”, in comparison with other works which glorify the Mick without mention of his long, dim personal decline, although some of the stills of the dissipated Mantle are somewhat disturbing. I believe this vital, though mildly depressing theme could have actually been balanced with some *on-field* shortcomings - I refer to the 1959 to 1960 descend from grace when he was roundly booed - his batting average dropping 61, then 80 points in two years; an insightful segment could have been wrought in regard to the evil “bonehead” of August, ‘60 when Mickey, thinking it was two outs, not one, did not speed hard to first irascible, and caused Roger Maris to accept into a double-play rupture up resulting in an injury which left him with 39 homers and Mantle 40. My thought is that Mick wanted Roger to crash Ruth’s portray the next year because of this spot. There is no mention of the Mantle slack ‘60 to ‘64 “Comeback”.
Another lesser-discussed chapter (not explored here) is his serious shoulder injury in the ‘57 Series, which permanently affected his uppercut from the left side.

Yes, and it looks like the author also missed a chance to expound on that “lost” season. Not talkin’ about ‘53 or ‘63, which left a immense gap statistically. It was that 1966 season, that summer, ten years after, when the Mick, coming up to age 35, had a June-July explosion of power, which really has remained unrivaled to this day. Hitting monsterous home-runs in bunches, it only stopped when another unhappy injury sidelined him. The round-trippers slowed, but enough energy was sustained for him to kill the season at .288 (the previous season was .255) . To me, this a very indispensable element of the Story. Although, I gotta contain, that Mick didn’t realy gawk. The Yankees finished 10th that year.
I’ve been a Mantle fan since the ’50s and have read many books, essays, and articles on this record, and I can say that this DVD, despite a few missing pieces which could really have keep it in orbit, belongs on the same shelf as *any* exceptional treatment.
I grew up in Northern N.J. in the ’50’s & ’60’s. Mickey Mantle was my hero, as well as that of hundreds of thousands of other kids. I saw this tonight as a rental. I’ll be buying it tomorrow. Was he perfect?
( Definitely not) . Was he an alcoholic? ( Yes) Was he a womanizer? (Yes) . But there was something about him that made him larger than life. He was like a god. All it took was a wave toward me from Mick at Yankee Stadium, that I caught on an 8mm movie film. I floated on a cloud for a week. This 1 hour documentary captures almost everything I felt about him when I was a kid. If you like baseball, and if you loved the Mick, you’ll treasure this film. Two of my life’s highlights were getting to meet Mick, and getting a relate of my then 10 year outmoded son shaking Mick’s hand when he was approach the waste. I worship those memories & that relate.
