Winners train, losers complain. Give me twelve players that want to win and they will find a way to win.

You've got to avoid overcoaching. You've got to avoid talking too much. You've got to avoid showing players that you're the boss every time. You don't have to do that. They know you're in charge.

You can't win without the ball.

I don't believe in statistics. There are too many factors that can't be measured. You can't measure a ballplayer's heart.

If they think we've got an edge, we've got an edge.

I can't stand a ballplayer who plays in fear. Anybody who has a good shot has got to take it and keep taking it. So he misses...so what?

I have two college degrees, four honorary doctorate degrees, and am in three Halls of fame, and the only thing I know how to do is teach tall people how to put a ball in the hole.
