We're the best team in baseball, but not by much.

The players make the manager, it's never the other way.

I've changed my mind about it (DH) - instead of being bad, it stinks.

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

Casey (Stengel) knew his baseball. He only made it look like he was fooling around. He knew every move that was ever invented and some that we haven't even caught on to yet.

This game has taken a lot of guys over the years who would have had to work in factories and gas stations and made them prominent people. I only had a high school education, and believe me, I had to cheat to get that. There isn't a college in the world that would have me and yet in this business you can walk into a room with millionaires, doctors, professional people and get more attention than they get. I don't know any other business where you can do that.

Good seasons start with good beginnings.
