Watching other teams in the World Series is like watching somebody else eat a Hot Fudge Sundae.

When I was a teenager and my brother Frank was in the World Series in '57 and '58 against the Yankees, Braves winning in '57 and the Yankees in '58, little did I know the next time these two teams would meet in the World Series, I would be managing the Yankees.

Baseball has always been filled with negative statistics.

When I was 16 years old, my brother Frank said, 'You'd better become a catcher, because you're too big and fat to do anything else.' Well, I took his advice. It was a quick way to get to the big leagues, and I've never regretted it.

I played for 18 years, but the only thing that meant anything to me was the World Series.

As a member of a competitive team, you want to make sure you have yourself ready to play. You don't control anything but what you do.
