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?

Our pitching could be better than I think it will be.

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.

Problem with (John) Wockenfuss getting on base is that it takes three doubles to score him.

Inner peace is not found in things like baseball and world championships. As long as I feel I've done the best job I possibly could, I'm satisfied.

The trick is to realize that after giving your best, there's nothing more to give... Win or lose the game is finished. It's over. It's time to forget and prepare for the next one.
