Jane Leavy Biography

Jane Leavy is the author of Squeeze Play, the best novel ever written about baseball. Leavy's sought-after keynote presentations focus on topics ranging from baseball legends and the history of baseball to women's roles in professional sports and sports media. She has appeared recently on Larry King Live Morning Joe and CBS's The Early Show. Leavy's own memories of Mantle fill The Last Boy as well as her speeches with reminiscences of a man who led the Yankees to seven world championships was voted the American League's MVP three times won the Triple Crown in 1956 and dueled teammate Roger Maris in the thrilling 1961 chase for the single season home-run record -- all the while battling crippling injuries and the lifelong drinking problem that eventually led to his death. As she did so indelibly in her acclaimed biography of Sandy Koufax Leavy goes beyond the myth and the hyperbole to understand the person Mantle really was and the paradoxical hold The Mick had on a generation of baseball fans who revered him."
