Mickey Mantle Thinking Quotations

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.

I think the best all-round baseball player ever was Joe DiMaggio.

In 1960 when Pittsburgh beat us in the World Series, we outscored them 55-27. It was the only time I think the better team lost. I was so disappointed I cried on the plane ride home.

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.
