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

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

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.

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

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.

With my team I am an absolute czar. My men know it. I order plays and they obey. If the don't, I fine them.

The main thing is to win.
