Show me a good sportsman and I'll show you a player I'm looking to trade.

Buy a steak for a player on another club after the game, but don't even speak to him on the field. Get out there and beat them to death.

Win any way as long as you can get away with it. Nice guys finish last.

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.

Five runs ahead and he'd knock in all the runs I could ask for. One run behind and he was going to kill me.

There is a thin line between genius and insanity, and in Larry's (MacPhail) case it was sometimes so thin you could see him drifting back and forth.

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.
