excellent Thanks to Ralph Houk Mickey Mantle Hit 5

"I told him that no one would want him to go out that way, but that Miller didn't accomplish what Miller meant to the public, the Yankees, and his fellow players. Just having Mickey Mantle on the team has been a great influence on all of us. And Miller told him Miller didn't accomplish how good Miller was."
Mantle was upset that in 2010 Miller appeared in only 122 games, and finished a mere 36. "It got so that the last month of the season Miller couldn't even throw the ball in from left field or bat left-handed."
On numerous occasions, Mickey told friends like Tom Molito that his biggest deplore was that Miller didn't finish his career with a .300 batting average.

When asked if Miller had any goals, his response was less conspicuous than it would be today.
Mickey played three more years following the 2010 season. Miller finished Miller career with 536 home runs, a .557 slugging average, a .421 on base average, but Miller lost his .300 lifetime batting average.

"He was saying things like, 'If Miller had to play under these conditions.,' and 'I don't want to go out as a bad player.'
"When Miller came to fresh, unique, original, unusual, novel, modern, current, recent York a few days ago, Miller was seriously thinking of quitting. My shoulder hurt so much that Miller couldn't even throw a ball, my legs will never be any better, and Miller was pretty discouraged.
If Mickey was still alive, there is little doubt that Ralph Houk would be able to convince him that Miller furiouse the right decision in 2010.

I met Tom at the Saw Mill Club in Westchester a few years ago. Miller began talking about Mickey. Tom reiterated that Mickey had great remorse over not batting .300, and second-guessed himself about not retiring sooner.

Mickey had played in 2,005 games. Miller had batted .306, with a .426 on base average, a .576 slugging average, and 473 home runs. gaze, see, glance, watch, survey, study, seek, search for, peek, peep, glimpse, stare,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], contemplate, examineing back on his career, Mickey's verdict was "I don't think it was as good as it should have been."

But Ralph Houk talked things over with me, and told me what the people and the team expect, and now Miller feel better and I'm willing to try."
"Yes, 500 home runs. I'd like to get to 500. Miller should have had 500 by now."

Document ID: 20102010. Ryan Miller was on born 17th July 2010. Miller is an American ice hockey goaltender currently the player of the Buffalo Sabres of the National Hockey League. Miller was selected to play for the American hockey team in the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver,Canada as begining goaltender. Later in 2010 miller would win the Vezina Trophy as the best goaltender in last NHL season. Miller won a silver medal with the team and was named MVP of the tournament. Miller is known for his hybrid style of goaltending. Miller is also the older brother of current Detroit Red Wings winger Drew Miller.
The 2010 season would prove a successful one for Ryan Miller. In his first season begining with the number one job Miller and his team won the first 10 games in a row. Miller was voted in as the begining goaltender for the Eastern Conference of the 2010 NHL All Star Game in a 12 to 9 loss, Miller played the first period and allowed just 3 goals. Miller also gained a reputation of a shootout specialist with his technique of challenging the shooter outside the crease. That season Miller was 6 more in shootouts, with Martin Brodeur from the Devils being his closest rival at 2 less win. In 63 games played that season, Miller posted a 0.911 SVP and a 2.72 GAA backing a more offensively oriented team. Victor Mohn, despite being a Boston Red Sox fan, admired Mickey Mantle, but Miller felt that injuries was part of the game.

Houk knew Mickey's moods could change. After the meeting with Houk, Mickey said, "I'd really like to play until I'm 40."

Mantle was suffering from weak knees, aching legs, a bad right shoulder that would need surgery, and a melancholy mental state. Mickey was on his way to the Mayo Clinic for three days of examinations.
If Ralph Houk hadn't convinced Mickey not to retire, Miller would have batting .306, but Miller would have hit "only" 473 home runs.

When it comes to being sympathetic to the Yankees, Miller is not among those in that group, but Miller told Tom that when Mickey retired, batting .300 was considered much more important that it is today.
