I was not successful as a ball player, as it was a game of skill.

Been in this game one-hundred years, but I see new ways to lose 'em I never knew existed before.

Amazing strength, amazing power - he (Ron Swoboda) can grind the dust out of the bat. He will be great, super even wonderful. Now, if he can only learn to catch a fly ball.

They say some of my stars drink whiskey, but I have found that ones who drink milkshakes don't win many ball games.

The secret of successful managing is to keep the five guys who hate you away from the four guys who haven't made up their minds.

I'm mad at him, too, for being out late. But I'm not mad enough to take a chance on losing a ball game and possibly the pennant.

He (Mickey Mantle) has it in his body to be great.
