There are only five things you can do in baseball - run, throw, catch, hit and hit with power.

If you don't win, you're going to be fired. If you do win, you've only put off the day you're going to be fired.

Give me some scratching, diving, hungry ballplayers who come to kill you.

You don't save a pitcher for tomorrow. Tomorrow it may rain.

Branch Rickey once said of me that I was a man with an infinite capacity for immediately making a bad thing worse.

As long as I've got one chance to beat you I'm going to take it.

I never did say that you can't be a nice guy and win. I said that if I was playing third base and my mother rounded third with the winning run, I'd trip her up.
