Baseball has always been filled with negative statistics.

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

When you take a job, you don't just accept the pats on the back. You have to accept the kicks in the pants.

You get to the big leagues, and you think, 'Can I do this stuff?' Then you take the first pitch down the middle for Strike 1, and you think, 'I could have hit that.'

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.

St. Louis has always been special to me.

I am deeply saddened and shocked at the loss of umpire Wally Bell.
