Don't do as I did. I'm living proof of how not to live.
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
What did you say, Joe?
Mickey Mantle
I've heard about you. I've heard about you, too.
Mickey Mantle
