More quotes by Mickey Mantle
I think the best all-round baseball player ever was Joe DiMaggio.
Mickey Mantle
A team is where a boy can prove his courage on his own. A gang is where a coward goes to hide.
Mickey Mantle
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
There are two kinds of people. There are leaders and there are followers. And I'm a follower.
Mickey Mantle
Those people don't know how tough that really was.
Mickey Mantle
Hey Yog, what time is it? You mean right now?
Mickey Mantle
I don't know why, but for some reason I seem to be more popular now than when I was playing.
Mickey Mantle
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
All I have is natural ability.
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
Butcher boy, damn it, butcher boy.
Mickey Mantle
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
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
The thing I really liked about Mickey was the way he treated everyone the same.
Mickey Mantle
Ralph (Houk) brought out the best in everybody, and that included me. I consider myself lucky to have played for him.
Mickey Mantle
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.
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
Billy (Martin) was a great one for jokes. He liked to play a joke more than anyone I ever knew.
Mickey Mantle
I always loved the game, but when my legs weren't hurting it was a lot easier to love.
Mickey Mantle
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.'
