You don't catch the knuckleball, you defend against it.

When you sign on to do a job, you hope you'll be able to get it done. But that's not always in your control.

I just don't like to dwell on stuff.

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

...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.

When I was 16 years old, my brother Frank said, 'You'd better become a catcher, because you're too big and fat to do anything else.' Well, I took his advice. It was a quick way to get to the big leagues, and I've never regretted it.

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.
