A special tribute to Mickey Mantle in the First of the Vintage Beckett Sports Heroes series. Mickey Mantle was unique among athletes for the passion he stirred, and elicits still, more than a quarter-century after his retirement. The reaction among fans to news of Mickey's liver cancer and subsequent surgery was testimony to his continued grip on the public. Such emotions are the sincerest forms of tribute because they are not based on records broken or championships won, but a deeper, almost mystical bond with the public.
