Pete Rose is baseball.

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

He's (Willie Stargell) such a big strong guy he should love that porch. He's got power enough to hit home runs in any park, including Yellowstone.

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

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

The man I marvel at is the one that's in there day after day, and night after night and still puts the figures on the board. I'm talking about Pete Rose, Stan Musial, the real stars. Believe me, especially the way we travel today, flying all night with a game the next night and then the next afternoon, if you can play one-hundred and sixty-two games, you're a man.

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