More quotes by Mickey Mantle
All I have is natural ability.
Mickey Mantle
It's unbelievable how much you don't know about the game you've been playing all your life.
Mickey Mantle
If I had played my career hitting singles like Pete (Rose), I'd wear a dress.
Mickey Mantle
I think the best all-round baseball player ever was Joe DiMaggio.
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
The strain on Roger (Maris) was unbelievable. After I dropped out the reporters only had one guy to go to. They surrounded him everywhere he went. He had big clumps of hair falling out. That he went ahead and did it was unbelievable.
Mickey Mantle
Of course, I didn't tell you about all the times I said I was going to hit one and it didn't happen.
Mickey Mantle
What did you say, Joe?
Mickey Mantle
The biggest thrill I ever had was in 1969, when they held day at Yankee Stadium.
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
The thing I really liked about Mickey was the way he treated everyone the same.
Mickey Mantle
Bravery is a complicated thing to describe. You can't say it's three feet long and two feet wide and that it weighs four hundred pounds or that it's colored bright blue or that it sounds like a piano or that it smells like roses. It's a quality, not a thing.
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
Before you go, would you sign that case of balls for me?
Mickey Mantle
My dad taught me to switch-hit. He and my grandfather, who was left-handed, pitched to me every day after school in the back yard. I batted lefty against my dad and righty against my granddad.
Mickey Mantle
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
I never understood how someone who was dying could say he was the luckiest man in the world, but now I understand.
Mickey Mantle
He said to play louder. He can't hear you.
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
Hey man! Get away from me!
