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
He said to play louder. He can't hear you.
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
I don't know why, but for some reason I seem to be more popular now than when I was playing.
Mickey Mantle
His fielding leaves you wondering. Then he steps up to hit and all doubts start to fade.
Mickey Mantle
The thing I really liked about Mickey was the way he treated everyone the same.
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
After I hit a home run I had a habit of running the bases with my head down. I figured the pitcher already felt bad enough without me showing him up rounding the bases.
Mickey Mantle
Watch the old man. Watch how the old man keeps the guys who aren't playing happy.
Mickey Mantle
I leaned on him for support when I got out of the cab, and he just crumpled to the ground. That's how we found out.
Mickey Mantle
There are two kinds of people. There are leaders and there are followers. And I'm a follower.
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
Every time I see his name (Dean Chance) on a lineup card, I feel like throwing up.
Mickey Mantle
He who have the fastest cart never have to play a bad lie.
Mickey Mantle
This year I'd rather lead the league in home runs, runs batted in and hitting.
Mickey Mantle
Hey man! Get away from me!
Mickey Mantle
I wanted to throw my glass at the TV.
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
We know you can bunt, Mick. You're not down here to bunt. You're here to get some hits and get your swing back.
Mickey Mantle
All I have is natural ability.
Mickey Mantle
Roger Maris was as good a man and as good a ballplayer as there ever was.
