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

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.

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

Umpires sometimes have a quick trigger.

We can learn from past failures and mistakes, but we shouldn't get stuck there. We can keep future goals in mind, but we shouldn't get stuck there, either. The only way to reach our potential is to focus on what we must do now - this moment, this day - to perform effectively and win.

St. Louis has always been special to me.

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