People say Yogi (Berra) is a strange guy, and I've heard Yogi say some funny things. But he has a beautiful wife, he's rich, and he's famous. I don't see anything strange about that.

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 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
It looked like Roy Rogers rode through on Trigger, and Trigger kicked the guy in the face.
Mickey Mantle
The thing I really liked about Mickey was the way he treated everyone the same.
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
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
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 hardest thing to do in sports, I think, is to hit a home run.
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
His fielding leaves you wondering. Then he steps up to hit and all doubts start to fade.
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.
Mickey Mantle
Don't do as I did. I'm living proof of how not to live.
Mickey Mantle
You never have to wait long, or look far, to be reminded of how thin the line is between being a hero or a goat.
Mickey Mantle
Hey man! Get away from me!
Mickey Mantle
Watch the old man. Watch how the old man keeps the guys who aren't playing happy.
Mickey Mantle
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.
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
I never understood how someone who was dying could say he was the luckiest man in the world, but now I understand.
Mickey Mantle
My biggest regret was letting my lifetime average drop below .300. I always felt I was a .300 hitter, and if I could change one thing that would be it.
