A manager's job is simple. For one hundred sixty-two games you try not to screw up all that smart stuff your organization did last December.

In baseball, you can't kill the clock. You've got to give the other man his chance. That's why this is the greatest game.

You win pennants in the off season when you build your teams with trades and free agents.

On my tombstone just write, 'The sorest loser that ever lived.'

Economics played a role. Raleighs have gone from six fifty to nine dollars a carton, but there's a three-quarter cent coupon on the back. You can get all kinds of things with them, blenders, everything. I saved up enough one time and got Al Bumbry.

I'd rather you walk with the bases loaded.

No one's gonna give a damn in July if you lost a game in March.
