New Mantle 'Inventive Memoir' called 'porn' and 'vile'

Hey what do you want? The guy churns out multiple books a year. You can't be accurate when churning out multiple books a year. Give him a break. <------------sarcasm

 

How did he get pulled into this?

 

wow. "Vile" seems way too kind for this crap.

 

Are you sure?

 

All those paste-job, pseudo "history" books he did - Wrigleyville, Fenway, Bums - etc., while entertaining, are among the least accurate books ever published. NOTHING was ever fact checked, and nearly EVERYTHING is incorrect. As a historical document of any kind, they are completely without value, and I've always wondered how he could crib from so many "as told to" books without attribution.

This book will be interesting for five pages then become tiresome, as will any spawn it produces. Ted Williams, anyone?

 

About this part:

This had to be written by the 40-year-old virgin. You have Mantle (ficticiously)banging Marilyn, and this is the best sex scene ya got? Geez, get a Penthouse or watch RealSex for a few minutes. If he can see the look on Mantle's face, he should be able to see a hard nipple or something like that.

No wonder Marilyn had accusing eyes.

 

I was thinking this thread was pretty harsh -- I would be hot-in-the-face mortified if people wrote these things about me -- and then I checked out the dude's Web site.

He calls himself, in big big letters, "Peter Golenbock, the best-known sports author, five-time NY Times best-seller, and best oral historian in sports."

So, I think his ego can take it.

 

Oh, and if you use "to enter" as a verb for sex, then you must use "portal" as one of the nouns.

 

No, Jones, there's no need for you to check the air pressure in your tires.

 

I couldn't come up with this before, but finally figured it out--he's describing a gynecological exam.

 

C'mon. Nobody's perfect. [/dripping with sarcasm]

 

I'm not sure what this means, exactly, but I fear that you're calling me fat.
