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.

Baseball is more than a game to me, it's a religion.

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.

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

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

In my heart, I never called one wrong.
