A new biography of Mickey Mantle is in the works:
A racy novel about baseball great Mickey Mantle has found a new home after being canceled in the wake of publisher Judith Regan's firing.Lyons Press, an imprint of Globe Pequot Press that publishes many sports books, will release Peter Golenbock's "7: The Mickey Mantle Novel" on April 3, with a planned first printing of 250,000.
Oh, "racy" is it? Does that mean there'll be lots of tales of Mickey's rock-hard throbbing liver?
On a completely unrelated note, Happy Texas Independence Day!

So that people like mickie mantle are treated JUST like everyone else, and get TWO transplants even though they don't adhere to any of the criteria.
If I can make 10K off of a living regenerative donation of my liver to a 10 year old? You BET YOUR ASS I will do it.
If I can't get a dime? that 10 year old will die, and my liver won't be worth a damn by the time I'm done with it.

Also, whenever wer'e in the supermarket and I ask where the cracker section is, my daughter just points to me. I think she has issues.

Cappy- your daughter's pretty funny.
