Description
Mantle - How about this weather? I feel like Phil Rizzuto in a Babe Ruth uniform. But, like I said, I am lucky to be in any uniform. I want to thank God, the American people, and all you Yankee fans who sent cards and flowers - with all my heart. I was really lucky to have played in New York City for you folks, the New York press and especially all the great teammates I had over the years.
I said one time I didn't know how Lou Gehrig could [be] here at home knowing he was gonna die and say he was "the luckiest man on the face of Earth." Now I know. I've always said when I died I want on my tombstone: " A Great Teammate," but I didn't mean this soon.
To all my little teammates out there: Please don't do drugs and alcohol. God only gave us one body. Take care of it. If you want to do something great, be an organ donor. Thanks again.
