Mickey Mantle – Three of Five Years
"During my 18 years I came to bat almost 10,000 times. I struck out about 1,700 times and walked maybe 1,800 times. You figure a ballplayer will average about 500 at bats a season. That means I played seven years without ever hitting the ball." – Mickey Mantle
Mickey Mantle was born on Tuesday, October 20, 1931, in Spavinaw, Oklahoma. Mantle was 19 years old when he broke into the big leagues on April 17, 1951, with the New York Yankees.
