Matt Kemp Could Learn From Mickey Mantle

At Zocalo Public Square, I review Jane Leavy's new book on Mickey Mantle -- a book that another Oklahoma-raised center fielder (the Dodgers' Matt Kemp) should read.

Look for more book reviews and essays from me at Zocalo, which is emerging as a leading on-line journal of ideas (in addition to its well-known public forums in California), beginning next year.
