(3) K-3 Illustrated by C. F. Payne. This top-notch biography of baseball's greatest switch-hitter, who played through pain almost every day of his Yankees career, has heart, passion, and impressive full-color acrylic and pencil illustrations. Winter writes with such assurance and power it's like reading one of Mantle's sweet swings. Winter focuses on Mantle's glories, but an appended note recounts the difficulties Mantle had off the field.
