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

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.

Baseball is a simple game. If you have good players and if you keep them in the right frame of mind then the manager is a success.

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

I managed 26 years and found out when I retired I didn't own the game. I thought I owned it when I was managing all those years. You can climb to the top of the mountain, get down on your knees and kiss the ground, because you'll never own that mountain. That mountain is only owned by one single person, and he'll never give it up. That's the way baseball is.

You can be whoever you want to be, you just have to want it bad enough.

I'm beginning to see Brooks [Robinson] in my sleep. If I dropped a paper plate, he'd pick it up on one hop and throw me out at first.
