That boy Mantle is a good one.

Every man in the game, from the minors on up, is not only fighting against the other side, but he's trying to hold onto his own job against those on his own bench who'd love to take it away. Why deny this? Why minimize it? Why not boldly admit it?

I had to fight all my life to survive. They were all against me, but I beat the bastards and left them in the ditch.

Baseball was one-hundred percent of my life.

Speed is a great asset; but it's greater when it's combined with quickness - and there's a big difference.

I regret to this day that I never went to college. I feel I should have been a doctor.

Don't come home a failure.
