I was born on the day Lincoln was shot and the Titanic sank.

When I get the record, all it will make me is the player with the most hits. I'm also the player with the most at bats and the most outs. I never said I was a greater player than (Ty) Cobb.

Sure I do, and if someone paid you six-thousand dollars a game, you'd have fun as well.

If I had been busted for drugs instead of gambling, I'd still be managing the Reds and baseball would be paying for my rehab.

Once you accept defeat, it becomes ease to lose. If defeat comes, face it and take it, but don't accept it.

The manager of a team is like a stagecoach, he can't move unless he has the horses.

You owe it to yourself to be the best you can possibly be - in baseball and in life.
