In my heart, I never called one wrong.

That guy in a twenty-five cent bleacher seat is as much entitled to know a call as the guy in the boxes. He can see my arm signal even if he can't hear my voice.

An angry player can't argue with the back of an umpire who is walking away.

The best umpired game is the game in which the fans cannot recall the umpires who worked it.

To me, baseball is not a game, but a religion.

The most cowardly thing in the world is blaming mistakes upon the umpires. Too many managers strut around on the field trying to manage the umpires instead of their teams.

Young man, if that bat comes down, you're out of the game
