Success is the person who year after year reaches the highest limits in his field.

A baseball manager is a necessary evil.

My idea of managing is giving the ball to Tom Seaver and sitting down and watching him work.

If I ever find a pitcher who has heat, a good curve, and a slider, I might seriously consider marrying him, or at least proposing.

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.

Me carrying a briefcase is like a hotdog wearing earrings.

Just give me 25 guys on the last year of their contracts; I'll win a pennant every year.
