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.

If you know how to cheat, start now.

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.

Bad ballplayers make good managers, not the other way around. All I can do is help them be as good as they are.

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

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

Do the dull things right so the extraordinary things will not be required too often.
