More quotes by 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
He who have the fastest cart never have to play a bad lie.

Mickey Mantle
Before you go, would you sign that case of balls for me?

During my 18 years I came to bat almost 10,000 times. I struck out about 1,700 times and walked maybe 1,800 times. You figure a ballplayer will average about 500 at-bats a season. That means I played 7 years without ever hitting the ball.
Mickey Mantle
Hey man! Get away from me!
Mickey Mantle
Butcher boy, damn it, butcher boy.

The greatest thing I ever saw was Roger Maris breaking Babe Ruth's record.
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.

Those people don't know how tough that really was.
Mickey Mantle
I wanted to throw my glass at the TV.
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
I had it all and blew it.
Mickey Mantle
We know you can bunt, Mick. You're not down here to bunt. You're here to get some hits and get your swing back.
Mickey Mantle
He can run, steal bases, throw, hit for average, and hit with power like I've never seen. Just don't put him at shortstop.
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
What did you say, Joe?
Mickey Mantle
I think the best all-round baseball player ever was Joe DiMaggio.
