A lot of people wrote that Roger (Maris) and I didn't like each other and that we didn't get along. Nothing could be further from the truth.

More quotes by Mickey Mantle
What did you say, Joe?
Mickey Mantle
The best hitter I ever saw was Ted Williams.
Mickey Mantle
I leaned on him for support when I got out of the cab, and he just crumpled to the ground. That's how we found out.
Mickey Mantle
It's unbelievable how much you don't know about the game you've been playing all your life.
Mickey Mantle
Casey wanted us to stay loose. That didn't mean clowning around. He just meant we should be confident and relaxed. We shouldn't feel that one strikeout was going to end the season for us.
Mickey Mantle
You might as well go in and start getting dressed. I'm going to hit his first pitch for a home run.
Mickey Mantle
Billy (Martin) wasn't afraid of anything.
Mickey Mantle
The greatest thing I ever saw was Roger Maris breaking Babe Ruth's record.
Mickey Mantle
Of course, I didn't tell you about all the times I said I was going to hit one and it didn't happen.
Mickey Mantle
Heroes are people who are all good with no bad in them. That's the way I always saw Joe DiMaggio. He was beyond question one of the greatest players of the century.
Mickey Mantle
Sometimes I sit in my den at home and read stories about myself. Kids used to save whole scrapbooks on me. They get tired of them and mail them to me. I'll go in there and read them, and you know what? They might as well be about (Stan) Musial and (Joe) DiMaggio, it's like reading about somebody else.
Mickey Mantle
He said to play louder. He can't hear you.
Mickey Mantle
Hey Yog, what time is it? You mean right now?
Mickey Mantle
After I hit a home run I had a habit of running the bases with my head down. I figured the pitcher already felt bad enough without me showing him up rounding the bases.
Mickey Mantle
A team is where a boy can prove his courage on his own. A gang is where a coward goes to hide.
Mickey Mantle
Somebody once asked me if I ever went up to the plate trying to hit a home run. I said, 'Sure, every time.'
Mickey Mantle
Bravery is a complicated thing to describe. You can't say it's three feet long and two feet wide and that it weighs four hundred pounds or that it's colored bright blue or that it sounds like a piano or that it smells like roses. It's a quality, not a thing.
Mickey Mantle
It looked like Roy Rogers rode through on Trigger, and Trigger kicked the guy in the face.
Mickey Mantle
The biggest game I ever played in was probably Don Larsen's perfect game.
Mickey Mantle
I never got to see the '27 Yankees. Everyone says that was the greatest team ever. But I think it would've been a great series if we'd have had the chance to play them.
