I did not mind the public criticism. That sort of thing has not changed any program I thought was good.

Don't worry about your individual numbers. Worry about the team. If the team is successful, each of you will be successful, too.

Worry is simply thinking the same thing over and over again and not doing anything about it.

I am alarmed at the subtle invasion of professional football, which is gaining preeminence over baseball. It's unthinkable.

Ethnic prejudice has no place in sports, and baseball must recognize that truth if it is to maintain stature as a national game.

Man may penetrate the outer reaches of the universe, he may solve the very secret of eternity itself but for me, the ultimate human experience is to witness the flawless execution of the hit-and-run.

Never surrender opportunity to security.
