Quote of the day: Mickey Mantle

Hall of Famer Mickey Mantle reflecting on the heavily favored New York Yankees losing to the Pittsburgh Pirates in seven games of the 1960 World Series:

“In 1960 when Pittsburgh beat us in the World Series, we outscored them 55-27. It was the only time I think the better team lost. I was so disappointed I cried on the plane ride home.”
