#7 hangs 'em up
"I can't play anymore. I can't hit the ball when I need to. I can't steal second when I need to. I can't go from first to third when I need to. I can't score from second when I need to. I have to quit."
- Mickey Mantle
At spring training camp on march 1, 1969, Mickey Mantle announced his retirement from baseball after an 18-year Yankee pinstripe career.
