More quotes by Mickey Mantle
The hardest thing to do in sports, I think, is to hit a home run.

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
His fielding leaves you wondering. Then he steps up to hit and all doubts start to fade.
Mickey Mantle
It's unbelievable how much you don't know about the game you've been playing all your life.
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'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.
