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.

It's a terrible thing to have to tell your fans, who have waited like Detroit's have, that their team won't win it this year. But it's better than lying to them.

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.

If you have to choose between power and speed and it often turns out you have to make that choice, you've got to go for speed.

The only reason I'm coming out here tomorrow is the schedule says I have to.

Every 24 hours the world turns over on someone who was sitting on top of it.

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?
