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 son wasn't gay. No way.

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

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

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.

No matter how good you are, you're going to lose one-third of your games. No matter how bad you are you're going to win one-third of your games. It's the other third that makes the difference.

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