Finding good players is easy. Getting them to play as a team is another story.

All that analysis is well and good, but what I need right now is a left-handed batter who can hit the ball over the shortstop's head.

It's high time something was done for the pitchers. They put up the stands and take down fences to make more home runs and plague the pitchers. Let them revive the spitter and help the pitchers make a living.

The best ballplayer's the one who doesn't think he made good. He keeps trying to convince you.

He (Lyndon B. Johnson) wanted to see poverty, so he came to see my team (1964 New York Mets).

Never make bad predictions, especially about the futture.

Whenever I decided to release a guy, I always had his room searched first for a gun. You couldn't take any chances with some of them birds.
