More quotes by 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
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 can't play any more. I can't hit the ball when I need to. I can't steal second when I need to. I can't go from first to third when I need to. I can't score from second when I need to. I have to quit.
Mickey Mantle
Butcher boy, damn it, butcher boy.
Mickey Mantle
He said to play louder. He can't hear you.
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
As far as he knew, I was dying.
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
The biggest thrill I ever had was in 1969, when they held day at Yankee Stadium.
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
I had it all and blew it.
Mickey Mantle
I've heard about you. I've heard about you, too.
