Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Holusion, Joe Licotta - Cover Art (illustrator). First Edition Stated. 134 Pages. July 1995 Edition. Bright and tight with no marks or stamps. Minor cover edge wear. Square-bound magazine format. Editor/Publisher Dr. James Beckett. Cover art shows a smiling Mickey wearing the Triple Crown he won in 1956, with his Yankee No. 7 in the background and images of him swinging right-and lefthanded appearing over his shoulders. 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.
