“Baseball is a soap opera that lends itself to probabilistic thinking.”

“Sports is the toy department of human life.”

“To do what is right, to do what is honorable, to do what is fair, that is the most important thing.”

“I've tried to be a good steward of the game. I'm not a revolutionary. I'm a protector of the institution.”

“The game is bigger than any one person. It has to be.”

“The owners are the board of directors. They have the power. But they also have the responsibility.”

“The commissioner's job is not to be popular. It is to do what is right for baseball.”

“The best interests of the game are the only interests that matter.”
