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
Image
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.

Image
It looked like Roy Rogers rode through on Trigger, and Trigger kicked the guy in the face.

His fielding leaves you wondering. Then he steps up to hit and all doubts start to fade.

Before you go, would you sign that case of balls for me?

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
Image
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
Image
Of course, I didn't tell you about all the times I said I was going to hit one and it didn't happen.

Because the players knew that if Billy asked them to jump off a roof, he'd jump off with them.
