I'd rather you walk with the bases loaded.

Nobody likes to hear it, because it's dull, but the reason you win or lose is darn near always the same - pitching.

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.

I never got many questions about my managing. I tried to get twenty-five guys who didn't ask questions.

If you know how to cheat, start now.

I became an optimist when I discovered that I wasn't going to win any more games by being anything else.

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.
