“The only thing I can't stand is a gutless pitcher. I'd rather have a guy with a 5.00 ERA who battles than a guy with a 3.00 who is scared to death.”

“If you don't have a catcher, you're going to have a lot of passed balls.”

“My main job is to get my players to play closer to their potential than the other manager.”

“Some guys are told to hit the cutoff man; others are told to throw it over the cutoff man's head.”

“Baseball has been good to me since I quit trying to play it.”

“Speed never has a slump.”

“I'm not a real smart guy. But I've been fooling people for 35 years.”

“You build your club around your park.”

“You can't lead the league in everything.”

“I don't think you can be a good manager if you're not a good man.”
