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

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.

Whatever sport you're looking at, it's usually the team that makes the least mistakes that has the most success.

If I intimidate people, that's not my intention.

It's my job that if somebody wants to have a discussion about something, I'm certainly sensitive to that, and I'm willing to do it.

I know in the heat of battle, it's hard not to get angry, especially in the 19th inning.

Obviously generating revenue is what this is all about anymore, which is sad, but again, you have to find ways to make it work. But, yeah, that's certainly intriguing.
