He holds the records for most World Series home runs (18), RBIs (40), runs (42), walks (43), extra-base hits (26), and total bases (123).

In Mickey Mantle second year of playing professional baseball, he was thinking of quitting; Micky was in slump and things were not going good for him in his personal life.  He finished practice and decided to quit. He left the stadium, got in his car and drove to tell his dad. Lucky for baseball fans, his father told him, " 'he was not allowed to quit! To stop feeling sorry for himself and get back to the ballpark.'' Even the most talented athletes struggle. No one is immunized from the potential thoughts of quitting. We will all experience these thoughts time to time. We sometime need the help of family and friends to get us back on the right path. Before quitting; think long and hard; talk to someone and make sure it’s right for you

“It’s always too soon to quit.”

Never Give Up; Unless it is Right For You!

Don't Quit Poem

-Anonymous

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest! if you must; but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up, though the pace seems slow;
You might succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor's cup.
And he learned too late, when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out;
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt;
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit;
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.
