"I am more amazed about that fellah every day. You seen that one he hit over the center field fence today. You've seen some of the left-handed shots he has made in Yankee Stadium. Now I tell you what amazes me so much; that fellah does it on one leg. You noticed how that right knee is always wrapped. He plays on one leg. Only one leg, yet you've seen he plays in all the games, and even the doubleheaders. Some times this year I knew the leg was bothering him but I kept him in and he'd get the big hit to win for us. Maybe in the seventh, maybe in the eighth, maybe in the ninth. But he'd get it. You seen Mantle's two right-handed homers today. For maybe the first three years he's with the club everyone told me I was silly to let him hit right-handed. Well, I been called silly about lots of things but I guess I'm not silly bout Mantle hitting right-handed, huh?"
