More quotes by Mickey Mantle
I expected him to say, 'Hang in there' or something like that. It took me an hour to talk him into giving me another chance!

Sometimes I sit in my den at home and read stories about myself. Kids used to save whole scrapbooks on me. They get tired of them and mail them to me. I'll go in there and read them, and you know what? They might as well be about (Stan) Musial and (Joe) DiMaggio, it's like reading about somebody else.
Mickey Mantle
You might as well go in and start getting dressed. I'm going to hit his first pitch for a home run.
Mickey Mantle
I'll play baseball for the Army or fight for it, whatever they want me to do.
Mickey Mantle
I wanted to throw my glass at the TV.
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?
