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.
From Mickey Mantle
You don't realize how easy this game is until you get up in that broadcasting booth.
Somebody once asked me if I ever went up to the plate trying to hit a home run. I said, 'Sure, every time.'
As far as I'm concerned, Aaron is the best ball player of my era. He is to baseball of the last fifteen years what Joe DiMaggio was before him. He's never received the credit he's due.
It was all I lived for, to play baseball.
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.
I could never be a manager. All I have is natural ability.
Sometimes I think if I had the same body and the same natural ability and someone else's brain, who knows how good a player I might have been.
My views are just about the same as Casey's.
I don't care who you are, you hear those boos.
