I don’t care if half the league strikes. Those who do will encounter quick retribution. All will be suspended, and I don’t care if it wrecks the league for 10 years. This is the United States of America, and one citizen has as much right to play as another.

Never charge a player and, above all, no pointing your finger or yelling.

Keep your eye on the ball.

Hear only the things you should hear - be deaf to others.

Avoid sarcasm. Don't insist on the last word.

Keep your temper. A decision made in anger is never sound.

Baseball is probably the world's best documented sport.
