Mickey Mantle Interview by Bob Costas

Books can't come close to matching the depth of this touching and revealing interview of Mickey Mantle by Bob Costas. Mickey discusses why he drank, when it became a problem and why he checked himself into the Betty Ford Clinic and so much more about his inner self. This is a "must see" for any fan of "The Mick"!

The emotions conjured up while watching this, for me, were indescribable...Costas (and "the MICK" himself) brought their "A" game to this interview and in reality, "this" was Mickey's final home run...RIP Mick...and thank-you Bob Costas for showing there's a distinct difference between a "role model" and a "hero".....

Mickey never had to be so upfront about things at the end. I have the greatest respect for him for stepping up and using his case as a teaching point for the younger generations.

@kingcoach13 A Beautiful and memorable recollection that you have recounted! Memories are precious to us whether of celebrities or parents or friends. Thanks for your sharing your memory of Mickey/Whitey. The laughs and the 'arm around my shoulder' should not be forgotten. Again Thanks. (Retired Catholic priest in Canada).
