More quotes by Mickey Mantle
As far as he knew, I was dying.
Mickey Mantle
Sometimes I think if I had the same body and the same natural ability and someone else's brain, who knows how good a player I might have been.
Mickey Mantle
He said to play louder. He can't hear you.
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
Before you go, would you sign that case of balls for me?
Mickey Mantle
If I had played my career hitting singles like Pete (Rose), I'd wear a dress.
Mickey Mantle
My biggest regret was letting my lifetime average drop below .300. I always felt I was a .300 hitter, and if I could change one thing that would be it.
Mickey Mantle
I wanted to throw my glass at the TV.
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.
Mickey Mantle
The best hitter I ever saw was Ted Williams.
Mickey Mantle
I've often wondered how a man who knew he was going to die could stand here and say he was the luckiest man on the face of the earth, but now I guess I know how he felt.
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
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
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
You might as well go in and start getting dressed. I'm going to hit his first pitch for a home run.
Mickey Mantle
Butcher boy, damn it, butcher boy.
Mickey Mantle
I don't care what the situation was, how high the stakes were - the bases could be loaded and the pennant riding on every pitch, it never bothered Whitey. He pitched his game. Cool. Craft. Nerves of steel.
Mickey Mantle
To get a better piece of chicken, you'd have to be a rooster.
Mickey Mantle
Don't do as I did. I'm living proof of how not to live.
Mickey Mantle
A team is where a boy can prove his courage on his own. A gang is where a coward goes to hide.
