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
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
Because the players knew that if Billy asked them to jump off a roof, he'd jump off with them.
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 think the best all-round baseball player ever was Joe DiMaggio.
Mickey Mantle
Before you go, would you sign that case of balls for me?
Mickey Mantle
I'll play baseball for the Army or fight for it, whatever they want me to do.
Mickey Mantle
The biggest thrill I ever had was in 1969, when they held day at Yankee Stadium.
Mickey Mantle
His fielding leaves you wondering. Then he steps up to hit and all doubts start to fade.
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
I don't care who you are, you hear those boos.
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
Ralph (Houk) brought out the best in everybody, and that included me. I consider myself lucky to have played for him.
Mickey Mantle
This year I'd rather lead the league in home runs, runs batted in and hitting.
Mickey Mantle
A lot of people wrote that Roger (Maris) and I didn't like each other and that we didn't get along. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Mickey Mantle
Somebody once asked me if I ever went up to the plate trying to hit a home run. I said, 'Sure, every time.'
Mickey Mantle
I've often wondered how a man who knew he was going to die could stand here and say he was the luckiest man on the face of the earth, but now I guess I know how he felt.
Mickey Mantle
Watch the old man. Watch how the old man keeps the guys who aren't playing happy.
Mickey Mantle
I wanted to throw my glass at the TV.
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
Hey Yog, what time is it? You mean right now?
