“ I'll play baseball for the Army or fight for it, whatever they want me to do. ”
A team is where a boy can prove his courage on his own. A gang is where a coward goes to hide.
~ Mickey Mantle
If I knew I was going to live so long, I'd have taken better care of myself.
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.
Somebody once asked me if I ever went up to the plate trying to hit a home run. I said, 'Sure, every time.'
