Mickey Mantle
Image
If I send the ball home, I know what will happen to it. My twin brothers will take it out on the lot, like any 20-cent rocket.
Mickey Mantle
Image
I think the best all-round baseball player ever was Joe DiMaggio.
Mickey Mantle
Image
My biggest regret was letting my lifetime average drop below .300. I always felt I was a .300 hitter, and if I could change one thing that would be it.
Mickey Mantle
Image
There are two kinds of people. There are leaders and there are followers. And I'm a follower.
Mickey Mantle
