You gotta learn that if you don't get it by midnight, chances are you ain't gonna get it, and if you do, it ain't worth it.

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

Baseball is very big at the present time. This makes me think baseball will live longer than Casey Stengel or anybody else.

Once someone gave me a picture and I wrote 'Do good in school.' I looked up and the guy was 78 years old

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

There's nobody on my ball club that doesn't go from first to third on a base hit, or from second to home. Every time you steal a base, you're taking a gamble on getting thrown out, and taking the bat out of the hitter's hand.

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