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.

I'd rather you walk with the bases loaded.

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.

We're so bad right now that for us back-to-back home runs means one today and another one tomorrow.

Some have said that I can accept inadequacies in my players but not in umpires. That completely misses the point. I can't tolerate anyone's mistake.

Momentum? Momentum is the next day's starting pitcher.

My best game plan is to sit on the bench and call out specific instructions like 'C'mon Boog,' 'Get a hold of one, Frank,' or 'Let's go, Brooks.'
