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

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

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.
