More quotes by Mickey Mantle
The greatest thing I ever saw was Roger Maris breaking Babe Ruth's record.
Mickey Mantle
I always loved the game, but when my legs weren't hurting it was a lot easier to love.
Mickey Mantle
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.
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

Mickey Mantle
The hardest thing to do in sports, I think, is to hit a home run.
Mickey Mantle

Mickey Mantle
It looked like Roy Rogers rode through on Trigger, and Trigger kicked the guy in the face.
Mickey Mantle
As far as he knew, I was dying.
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
All I have is natural ability.
Mickey Mantle
Every time I see his name (Dean Chance) on a lineup card, I feel like throwing up.
Mickey Mantle
Those people don't know how tough that really was.
Mickey Mantle
When I'm hitting, I'd play for nothing. When I'm not, any kind of money I receive makes me feel as if I'm stealing.
Mickey Mantle
To get a better piece of chicken, you'd have to be a rooster.
Mickey Mantle
There are two kinds of people. There are leaders and there are followers. And I'm a follower.
Mickey Mantle
