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.

Son, we'd like to keep you around this season but we're going to try and win a pennant.

I would not admire hitting against Ryne Duren, because if he ever hit you in the head you might be in the past tense.

Sure I played, did you think I was born at the age of 70 sitting in a dugout trying to manage guys like you?

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.

If you walk backwards, you'll find out you can go forwards and people won't know if you're coming or going.

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.
