"Here's the pitch. Mantle swings. There's a tremendous drive going into deep left field! It's going, going! It's over the bleachers... over the sign atop the bleachers... into the yards of houses across the street! It's got to be one of the longest runs I've ever seen! How about that!"
"And that one is gone. A home run for Mickey Mantle! How do you like that?"
"I know a doctor who can give you a shot and you'll get over that cold you've got and get better in a day."
"Ladies and gentlemen, the great number seven, Mickey Mantle."
