I knew what the Dodgers uniform represented as a kid growing up in Brooklyn.

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

You hear the word 'cancer,' it scares you. You think of death.

Competing at the highest level is not about winning. It's about preparation, courage, understanding and nurturing your people, and heart. Winning is the result.

I do love the feeling of a big win. But you don't have to have a World Series ring to be a winner. A winner is somebody who goes out there every day and exhausts himself trying to get something accomplished. Being able to get the most from their ability. That's what characterizes a winner.

You look at a guy who's being brave. He's afraid, or he wouldn't be brave. If he isn't afraid, he's stupid.

Umpires sometimes have a quick trigger.
