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.

More quotes by Mickey Mantle
There are two kinds of people. There are leaders and there are followers. And I'm a follower.
Mickey Mantle
I always loved the game, but when my legs weren't hurting it was a lot easier to love.
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
As far as I'm concerned, Aaron is the best ball player of my era. He is to baseball of the last fifteen years what Joe DiMaggio was before him. He's never received the credit he's due.
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 had it all and blew it.

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.

I've heard about you. I've heard about you, too.
Mickey Mantle

Mickey Mantle
This year I'd rather lead the league in home runs, runs batted in and hitting.
Mickey Mantle
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
The thing I really liked about Mickey was the way he treated everyone the same.
Mickey Mantle
The best hitter I ever saw was Ted Williams.
Mickey Mantle
I don't care who you are, you hear those boos.
Mickey Mantle
Hey Yog, what time is it? You mean right now?
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
I never got to see the '27 Yankees. Everyone says that was the greatest team ever. But I think it would've been a great series if we'd have had the chance to play them.
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.
