It's still the best game in town because you don't have to be big to play, and everybody plays. Even your grandmother probably played baseball.

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

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

I am so happy and proud to learn of Hideo Nomo's election to the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame. He was quite a pitcher and competitor, but he is also a very special and caring person.

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.

You can wake up every day and make today better than the last.
