More quotes by Mickey Mantle
All I had was natural ability.
Mickey Mantle
Don't do as I did. I'm living proof of how not to live.
Mickey Mantle
I never got to see the '27 Yankees. Everyone says that was the greatest team ever. But I think it would've been a great series if we'd have had the chance to play them.
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
Watch the old man. Watch how the old man keeps the guys who aren't playing happy.
Mickey Mantle
Billy (Martin) wasn't afraid of anything.
Mickey Mantle
I wanted to throw my glass at the TV.
Mickey Mantle
Before you go, would you sign that case of balls for me?
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
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
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.
Mickey Mantle
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
The greatest thing I ever saw was Roger Maris breaking Babe Ruth's record.
Mickey Mantle
Sometimes I sit in my den at home and read stories about myself. Kids used to save whole scrapbooks on me. They get tired of them and mail them to me. I'll go in there and read them, and you know what? They might as well be about (Stan) Musial and (Joe) DiMaggio, it's like reading about somebody else.
Mickey Mantle
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
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
My dad taught me to switch-hit. He and my grandfather, who was left-handed, pitched to me every day after school in the back yard. I batted lefty against my dad and righty against my granddad.
Mickey Mantle
I had it all and blew it.
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.'
