The best possible thing in baseball is winning The World Series. The second best thing is losing The World Series.

About the only problem with success is that it does not teach you how to deal with failure.

The only way I'd worry about the weather is if it snows on our side of the field and not theirs.

My wife tells me one day, 'I think you love baseball more than me.' I say, 'Well, I guess that's true, but hey, I love you more than football and hockey.'

One time I was doing a speech to a group of kids, and just before I get there, I see this little kid crying. I found out they just lost a game, and he was the losing pitcher. I went over there, put my arm around him, and said, 'What are you crying for? When major league players lose, they don't cry.'

My theory of hitting was just to watch the ball as it came in and hit it.

Everything I have, I owe to baseball and the Dodgers.
