The greatest thing I ever saw was Roger Maris breaking Babe Ruth's record.
Mickey Mantle
Image
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.

Of course, I didn't tell you about all the times I said I was going to hit one and it didn't happen.
Mickey Mantle
Image
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
Image
If I were playing today I'd do what Joe DiMaggio said. I'd go knock on the door at Yankee Stadium and when George Steinbrenner answered I'd say, 'Howdy, pardner.'
Mickey Mantle

Butcher boy, damn it, butcher boy.
Mickey Mantle
Image
Heroes are people who are all good with no bad in them. That's the way I always saw Joe DiMaggio. He was beyond question one of the greatest players of the century.
Mickey Mantle
Image
I don't care what the situation was, how high the stakes were - the bases could be loaded and the pennant riding on every pitch, it never bothered Whitey. He pitched his game. Cool. Craft. Nerves of steel.
Mickey Mantle

Roger Maris was as good a man and as good a ballplayer as there ever was.

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