A baseball manager is a necessary evil.

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?

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

People who live in the past generally are afraid to compete in the present. I've got my faults, but living in the past is not one of them. There's no future in it.

The day I got a hit off (Sandy) Koufax was when he knew it was all over.

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

Pete Rose is baseball.
