Managing is not running, hitting, or stealing. Managing is getting your players to put out one hundred percent year after year.

I don't believe a manager ever won a pennant. Casey Stengel won all those pennants with the Yankees. How many did he win with the Boston Braves and Mets?

My idea of managing is giving the ball to Tom Seaver and sitting down and watching him work.

A player does not have to like a manager and he does not have to respect a manager. All he has to do is obey the rules.

You're gonna lose some ball games and you're gonna win some ball games and that's about it.

A baseball manager is a necessary evil.

They say the first World Series is the one you remember most. No, no no. I guarantee you don't remember that one because the fantasy world you always dreamed about is suddenly real.
