You never have to wait long, or look far, to be reminded of how thin the line is between being a hero or a goat.

I think the best all-round baseball player ever was Joe DiMaggio.
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.
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.

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
Image
You might as well go in and start getting dressed. I'm going to hit his first pitch for a home run.
Mickey Mantle
Image
Hey man! Get away from me!

Casey wanted us to stay loose. That didn't mean clowning around. He just meant we should be confident and relaxed. We shouldn't feel that one strikeout was going to end the season for us.

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.

If I had played my career hitting singles like Pete (Rose), I'd wear a dress.

I've heard about you. I've heard about you, too.
