The secret of successful managing is to keep the five guys who hate you away from the four guys who haven't made up their minds.

I never saw anyone like Ty Cobb. No one even close to him as the greatest all-time ballplayer. That guy was superhuman, amazing.

If you're playing baseball and thinking about managing, you're crazy. You'd be better off thinking about being an owner.

I was once asked what it takes to be a great manager...my response? Great players.

Don't cut your nose off yourself.

They said it couldn't be done, but sometimes it doesn't work out that way.

All I ask is that you bust your heiny on that field.
