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

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.

He (Honus Wagner) was the nearest thing to a perfect player no matter where his manager chose to play him.

There is but one game and that game is baseball.

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.

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.
