From Jane Leavy's biography of Mantle.
Q. Who was better, you or Mays? A. Expletive Willie. Great line about Willie from Leo Durocher, who immediately recognized his supreme talent -- "If he could cook, I'd marry him." Another Durocher/Mays anecdote. Apparently when Willie got the call to the bigs from Minneapolis he was extremely nervous and Durocher phoned him. After Willie explained he was afraid he might not be able to hit big league pitching, Durocher asks him, what are you hitting now? Willie replies .488 LOL. Durocher says, well son, do you think you can hit two bleeping fifty for me?
