"I'm going to tell something that Yankees made me do. When I came up in 1951, a guy from some paper asked me who was my favorite player. I told him Stan Musial. Well, the Yankees didn't like that at all. They said that I had to say that Joe DiMaggio was my favorite player. You know, I had as much ability as Stan Musial, maybe more. Nobody had more power than me. Nobody could run faster than me. But Stan Musial was a better player because he's a better man than me. Because he got everything out of his life and his ability that he could. And he'll never have to live with all the regret that I have to live with."
Mickey Mantle.
