A manager should stay as far away as possible from his players. I don't know if I said ten words to Frank Robinson while he played for me.

The only thing that matters is what happens on the little hump out in the middle of the field.

I think there should be bad blood between all clubs.

Optimism is the cheerful frame of mind that enables a teakettle to sing, though in hot water up to its nose.

Momentum is only as good as tomorrow's starting pitcher.

Team speed for Christ's sake. You got bleeping' bleep bleep little fleas on the bleeping' bases getting picked off, trying to steal, getting thrown out, taking runs away from you. You get some big bleep bleepers that can hit the bleeping ball out of ballpark and you can't make any bleep bleeping mistakes.

If you know how to cheat, start now.
