Oklahoma's Own Mickey Mantle To Be Subject Of Broadway Play

On March 1, 1969, Oklahoma's Own Mickey Mantle announced he was retiring from baseball.

Now, 44 years later, his two sons announced they're helping to develop a Broadway play about his life.

"The Commerce Comet" is considered one of the best to ever play the game. He was a hero to an entire generation, but he was also known to be an alcoholic and a womanizer.

Mantle's sons say they just want people to see him through their eyes.

They're working with an award-winning writer and producer to bring that vision to Broadway.
