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.

More quotes by Mickey Mantle
As far as he knew, I was dying.
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.
Mickey Mantle
Billy (Martin) was a great one for jokes. He liked to play a joke more than anyone I ever knew.
Mickey Mantle
I always loved the game, but when my legs weren't hurting it was a lot easier to love.
Mickey Mantle
His fielding leaves you wondering. Then he steps up to hit and all doubts start to fade.
Mickey Mantle
This year I'd rather lead the league in home runs, runs batted in and hitting.
Mickey Mantle
The best hitter I ever saw was Ted Williams.
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
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
The strain on Roger (Maris) was unbelievable. After I dropped out the reporters only had one guy to go to. They surrounded him everywhere he went. He had big clumps of hair falling out. That he went ahead and did it was unbelievable.
Mickey Mantle
Ralph (Houk) brought out the best in everybody, and that included me. I consider myself lucky to have played for him.
Mickey Mantle
The biggest thrill I ever had was in 1969, when they held day at Yankee Stadium.
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
Watch the old man. Watch how the old man keeps the guys who aren't playing happy.
Mickey Mantle
It's unbelievable how much you don't know about the game you've been playing all your life.
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
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've heard about you. I've heard about you, too.
Mickey Mantle
It looked like Roy Rogers rode through on Trigger, and Trigger kicked the guy in the face.
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.
