More quotes by Mickey Mantle
I always loved the game, but when my legs weren't hurting it was a lot easier to love.
Mickey Mantle
It's unbelievable how much you don't know about the game you've been playing all your life.
Mickey Mantle
After I hit a home run I had a habit of running the bases with my head down. I figured the pitcher already felt bad enough without me showing him up rounding the bases.
Mickey Mantle
Before you go, would you sign that case of balls for me?
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
Sometimes I think if I had the same body and the same natural ability and someone else's brain, who knows how good a player I might have been.
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
I've heard about you. I've heard about you, too.
Mickey Mantle
Hey Yog, what time is it? You mean right now?
Mickey Mantle
His fielding leaves you wondering. Then he steps up to hit and all doubts start to fade.
