Quote of the day: Mickey Mantle on Don Drysdale

Hall of Famer Mickey Mantle on facing fellow Hall of Famer Don Drysdale in the 1963 World Series:

“I hated to bat against Drysdale. After he hit you (with a pitch), he’d come around, look at the bruise on your arm and say, ‘Do you want me to sign it?’ ”
