Get in front of the ball, you won't get hurt. That's what you've got a chest for, young man.

Sportsmanship and easygoing methods are all right, but it is the prospect of a hot fight that brings out the crowds.

The main thing is to win.

One small breeze doesn't make a wind storm.

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.

You think the greatest thing in the whole world would be to become a baseball player - if best things already happened, what's next?

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.
