Bruce Benedict is so slow he'd finish third in a race with a pregnant woman.

I motivate players through communication, being honest with them, having them respect and appreciate your ability and your help.

A second-guesser is one who doesn't know anything about the first guess, and he's one who needs 2 guesses to get one right.

If you love your job, you haven't worked a day in your life.

I didn't even graduate from high school. I've never told anybody that before. I got my degree later, when I was in the army.

I started in the lowest league in baseball, and I worked my way all the way up to Triple A and then to the big leagues. I never reached the level that I thought I would reach as a player. But that's the way it goes. So then I started from the bottom as a manager, and I worked my way up to managing the Dodgers for 20 years.

When I was 15 years old, I used to actually dream I was pitching in Yankee Stadium. Bill Dickey was my catcher.
