Mickey Mantle
I always loved the game, but when my legs weren't hurting it was a lot easier to love.
Mickey Mantle
I never understood how someone who was dying could say he was the luckiest man in the world, but now I understand.
Mickey Mantle

Mickey Mantle
It's unbelievable how much you don't know about the game you've been playing all your life.
Mickey Mantle
All I had was natural ability.
Mickey Mantle
I had it all and blew it.
Mickey Mantle
Roger Maris was as good a man and as good a ballplayer as there ever was.
Mickey Mantle
I expected him to say, 'Hang in there' or something like that. It took me an hour to talk him into giving me another chance!
