Best story?
Hands down, this one....
In 1972, Bob Fischel of the Yankees was writing to a number of former Yankees asking what their greatest moment was in Yankee Stadium. The great Mickey Mantle wrote Fischel back and detailed his greatest memory of the Stadium......CAUTION! MANTLE'S RESPONSE IS FOR ADULTS ONLY!

"No one can ever see the ball hit the bat because its physically impossible to focus your eyes that way. However, when I hit the ball especially hard, I could smell the leather start to burn as it struck the wooden bat" -- Ted Williams.Leave a comment:

OT: Favorite Sports Quotes or Stories
Thought this might be a fun thread... and maybe pick up some new quotes...
My favorite is in my signature from Don Drysdale when during an interview, he was asked about his record for most hit batters and why he hit so many...
Drysdale replied - "The skipper tells me he wants me to walk this next guy, so I plunk him. I figure why waste 4 pitches when 1 will do?"
Looking forward to hearing yours...
