It's nice to be in first place. But just because you're not on a winner doesn't mean you're a loser.

The second you think you've arrived, someone passes you. You have to always be in pursuit.

...in my book success and winning are not always the same thing. To me, success is playing - or working - to the best of your ability.

I hated the Yankees and Dodgers and wound up managing both.

Major league baseball is about the history of the game. Baseball history is so important. It's so much more than money.

After you manage the Yankees for 12 years, it's really tough to envision going somewhere else. But then the Dodgers called.

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.
