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

I'm just like everybody else. I have two arms, two legs and four-thousand hits.

When you play this game twenty years, go to bat ten-thousand times, and get three-thousand hits, do you know what that means? You've gone zero for seven-thousand.

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.

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

Every time I step up to the plate, I expect to get a hit. If I don't expect to get a hit, I have no right to step into the batter's box in the first place.

What's the game coming to? Evidently the guys making all these rules never played the game of baseball.
