If a team is in a positive frame of mind, it will have a good attitude. If it has a good attitude, it will make a commitment to playing the game right. If it plays the game right, it will win-unless, of course, it doesn't have enough talent to win, and no manager can make goose-liver pate out of goose feathers, so why worry?

I only had a high school education and believe me, I had to cheat to get that.

I don't know why the players make such a big fuss about sitting in the first class section of the plane. Does that mean they'll get there faster?

The players make the manager, it's never the other way.

He's (Willie Stargell) such a big strong guy he should love that porch. He's got power enough to hit home runs in any park, including Yellowstone.

Chris Pittaro is the best rookie I've had in 15 years.

I've changed my mind about it (DH) - instead of being bad, it stinks.
