“I wouldn't have traded my career for anybody's. I'd have liked to have been a better player, but I was a gutty player.”

“All I know is, I've been in baseball for 50 years. And you know what else I know? I'm not going to be in it another 50 years.”

“What you lack in talent can be made up with desire, hustle and giving 110 percent all the time.”

“I love baseball. I'll be here as long as I can.”

“If you have a bad day in baseball, and start thinking about it, you'll have 10 more.”

“People say you're a great manager. I say you're a great manager if you have great players.”

“I'm a baseball man. I've been in it all my life. It's the only thing I know.”

“I was a lousy hitter in the minor leagues. I was a lousy hitter in the major leagues. I'm a lousy hitter in the National League.”

“The game has changed, but it's still baseball.”

“I've been in this game for 50 years. I got hit in the head with a pitch, I got hit in the eye with a line drive. I've been in brawls. But I've never been in a fight like this.”
