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.

Inner peace is not found in things like baseball and world championships. As long as I feel I've done the best job I possibly could, I'm satisfied.

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

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.

I only had a high school education and believe me, I had to cheat to get that.

I managed 26 years and found out when I retired I didn't own the game. I thought I owned it when I was managing all those years. You can climb to the top of the mountain, get down on your knees and kiss the ground, because you'll never own that mountain. That mountain is only owned by one single person, and he'll never give it up. That's the way baseball is.
