Quote of the day: Mickey Mantle

Hall of Famer Mickey Mantle on his fame:

“Sometimes I sit in my den at home and read stories about myself. Kids used to save whole scrapbooks on me. They get tired of them and mail them to me. I’ll go in there and read them, and you know what? They might as well be about (Stan) Musial and (Joe) DiMaggio; it’s like reading about somebody else."
