When I'm hitting, I'd play for nothing. When I'm not, any kind of money I receive makes me feel as if I'm stealing.
Mickey Mantle
Image
A lot of people wrote that Roger (Maris) and I didn't like each other and that we didn't get along. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Mickey Mantle
Image
I had it all and blew it.
Mickey Mantle
Image
Every time I see his name (Dean Chance) on a lineup card, I feel like throwing up.
Mickey Mantle
Image
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
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.
