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 between the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers:

“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?’ ”
