That's what I'd like to think that my reputation is - being honest.

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.

Respect is the word I want. You have to earn it. You give, and you get it in return, that's how I see it.

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

I feel very fortunate to have broken in with the Milwaukee Braves organization.

I was always a little hesitant to accuse people of loading a bat to hit a ball farther. I was always very hesitant to approach people because I never had any evidence that I had firsthand knowledge of.

You have to fix something when it first appears.
