Mickey Mantle
I wanted to throw my glass at the TV.
Mickey Mantle
I've heard about you. I've heard about you, too.
Mickey Mantle
The best hitter I ever saw was Ted Williams.
Mickey Mantle
I never understood how someone who was dying could say he was the luckiest man in the world, but now I understand.
Mickey Mantle
The thing I really liked about Mickey was the way he treated everyone the same.
Mickey Mantle
Hey man! Get away from me!
Mickey Mantle
People say Yogi (Berra) is a strange guy, and I've heard Yogi say some funny things. But he has a beautiful wife, he's rich, and he's famous. I don't see anything strange about that.
