Learn to know every man under you, get under his skin, know his faults. Then cater to him - with kindness or roughness as his case may demand.

If I had to pick the greatest team player in baseball today-and I have some of the greats on my own club-I would have to pick Pie Traynor.

I name (Honus) Wagner first on my list, not only because he was a great batting champion and base-runner, and also baseball's foremost shortstop, but because Honus (Wagner) could have been first at any other position, with the possible exception of pitcher. In all my career, I never saw such a versatile player.

In playing or managing, the game of ball is only fun for me when I'm out in front and winning. I don't give a hill of beans for the rest of the game.

One small breeze doesn't make a wind storm.

(Bill) Terry, you can ask for more money in the winter and do less in the summer than any ballplayer I know.

I think we can win it if my brain holds out.
