The key to being a good manager is keeping the people who hate me away from those who are still undecided.

Well, the fella I got on there is hitting pretty good and I know he can make that throw, and if he don't make it that other fella I got coming has shown me a lot, and if he can't I have my guy and I know what he can do. On the other hand, the guy's not around now. And, well, this guy may be able to do it against left-handers if my guy ain't strong enough. I know one of my guys is gonna do it.

Do you realize how good you have to be to strike out 2000 times?

I became a major league manager in several cities and was discharged. We call it discharged because there was no question I had to leave.

They say Yogi Berra is funny. Well, he has a lovely wife and family, a beautiful home, money in the bank, and he plays golf with millionaires. What's funny about that?

I love signing autographs. I'll sign anything but veal cutlets. My ballpoint slips on veal cutlets.

I made up my mind, but I made it up both ways.
