New York Yankees icon and Hall of Famer Mickey Mantle on looking through scrapbooks of his career that fans send to him:

“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.”
