Here are a few insightful quotes from Mickey Mantle that reflect his thoughts on life:

1. **“A team is where a boy can prove his courage on his own. A gang is where a coward goes to hide.”**
– Mantle reflected on the importance of teamwork and individual courage, distinguishing between positive and negative social influences.

2. **“If I knew I was going to live this long, I’d have taken better care of myself.”**
– One of his most famous lines, often quoted as a reflection on the choices he made regarding his health, particularly his struggles with alcoholism.

3. **“You don’t realize how easy this game is until you get up in that broadcasting booth.”**
– A humorous take on how perspectives change once you’re no longer in the game but watching from the sidelines.

4. **“During my 18 years I came to bat almost 10,000 times. I struck out about 1,700 times and walked maybe 1,800 times. You figure a ballplayer will average about 500 at-bats a season. That means I played seven years without ever hitting the ball.”**
– A reflection on perseverance and dealing with failure in life and sports.

5. **“It’s unbelievable how much you don’t know about the game you’ve been playing all your life.”**
– This speaks to the lifelong learning process, even in something as familiar as baseball, and can be applied more broadly to life.

Mantle’s quotes often reveal his humility and sense of humor about the highs and lows of both his career and personal life.
