It's easy to get good players. Getting them to play together, that's the hard part.

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

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

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

Don't cut my throat, I may want to do that later myself.

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.

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.
