More quotes by Mickey Mantle
It's unbelievable how much you don't know about the game you've been playing all your life.
Mickey Mantle
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.
Mickey Mantle

Mickey Mantle
All I have is natural ability.
Mickey Mantle
Billy (Martin) wasn't afraid of anything.
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
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
What did you say, Joe?
Mickey Mantle

Mickey Mantle
I had it all and blew it.
Mickey Mantle
Don't do as I did. I'm living proof of how not to live.
Mickey Mantle
Butcher boy, damn it, butcher boy.
Mickey Mantle
The hardest thing to do in sports, I think, is to hit a home run.
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
If I were playing today I'd do what Joe DiMaggio said. I'd go knock on the door at Yankee Stadium and when George Steinbrenner answered I'd say, 'Howdy, pardner.'
Mickey Mantle
I never understood how someone who was dying could say he was the luckiest man in the world, but now I understand.
