This miniseries offers a deep, multi-layered exploration of Mickey Mantle's journey both on and off the field. It covers his record-breaking career, his tragic personal battles with addiction, his complex family life, and the pressures of being a larger-than-life figure in a time when fame and fortune often came with immense personal sacrifice.

The show will explore themes of ambition, the price of greatness, and the pursuit of redemption. Mantle: The Yankee Legend will be a vivid portrayal of a man whose brilliance on the baseball diamond was matched only by the darkness he faced behind closed doors.

Description of Alfred Martin Jr. (Billy):

Alfred Manuel "Billy" Martin Jr. was an American Major League Baseball second baseman and manager who, in addition to leading other teams, was five times the manager of the New York Yankees. First known as a scrappy infielder who made considerable contributions to the championship Yankee teams of the 1950s, he then built a reputation as a manager who would initially make bad teams good, before ultimately being fired amid dysfunction. In each of his stints with the Yankees, he managed them to winning records before being fired by team owner George Steinbrenner or resigning under fire, usually amid a well-publicized scandal such as Martin's involvement in an alcohol-fueled fight.
