Mickey Mantle on Book Cover of Paperback Edition of “The Education Of A Baseball Player”
Description
A color slide of the cover of the paperback edition of Mickey Mantle's book "The Education Of A Baseball Player." The cover features a full-length photograph of Mickey Mantle's follow-through from the left-handed batter's box. The photograph is from the perspective of the first base side, so Mantle is in profile with his right side visible. He is holding the baseball bat in his right hand. He is stepping out of the box with his left leg and watching the ball's flight. He is wearing a New York Yankees home uniform. In the background is the third base dugout and fans in the stands. The photographer is Marvin E. Newman for Sport Magazine. The text in the upper left-hand corner of the cover reads "77055" in small white letters. The text in the upper right corner reads "95¢", also in small white letters. Right underneath that, in large yellow letters spanning the cover's width and just above Mantle's image, is "MICKEY MANTLE". Below that, framed by the cover's left side, the top of the bat, and the back of Mantle's head is the title in white, "THE EDUCATION OF A BASEBALL PLAYER".
