:07:01
Ninety percent of the game is half mental.
Remember that.
:07:14
You see that catch?
:07:15
This kid may be
the best right fielder in the league.
:07:18
- That's because it was Mantle.
- Come on. Maris works hard every day.
:07:22
You're like a chipmunk,
running around looking for nuts.
:07:24
Maris comes from Kansas City.
:07:26
First year, he beats Mickey out for MVP.
The closest vote in baseball history.
:07:30
You think Mantle wouldn't be pissed off,
and Maris has nothing to prove?
:07:33
I don't speculate. I write what I know.
:07:35
Look, with all due respect,
I don't have a regular column.
:07:39
There's 15 papers in this town
and we can't all write the same thing.
:07:45
Daddy!
:07:48
- Daddy!
- Hi, honey.
:07:51
- Here you go.
- Thanks.
:07:54
- The kids up to see Pop get his big award?
- Just Pat and Susan.
:07:58
The other ones are too little.
They're back in Missouri.
:08:00
Came up for opening day,
you know, and then back tomorrow.
:08:03
- Is Merlyn here?
- No, she's in Dallas with the boys.
:08:06
She don't like it here.
:08:07
- Who doesn't like it here?
- Your wife.
:08:09
She likes it down there, you know?
:08:10
So, Mick, what do you say?
:08:12
Is there a rivalry
between you and the MVP?
:08:16
- Who'd you vote for, anyway?
- I can't tell you that.
:08:18
- See, the little prick voted for you.
- How about the home run record?
:08:22
- You think you got a shot?
- Are you crazy?
:08:24
With expansion this year,
the pitching's gonna be thinner.
:08:27
The best year I had, I only hit 52.
:08:29
This year you got eight extra games
in the schedule.
:08:31
Come on, it can't be done.
:08:33
Even if you get close,
you won't get nothing to hit.
:08:35
If you stay healthy, you can do it.
:08:37
That's great. One guy's got me washed up,
the other's got me beatin' Ruth's record.
:08:41
You guys oughta get together and decide,
tell me how I am so I know how to play.
:08:46
What do you say, Rog?
:08:47
I don't know,
we haven't even played a game yet.
:08:50
Maybe we'll wait and see
after we play one.
