Desire and determination must overcome disappointment.

Desire and determination must overcome disappointment.

I'm not afraid to learn from my coaches.

I always liked Casey Stengel as a manager because he seemed to have a grasp of so many things.

I've won plenty of games by knowing when to take out my pitcher; whom to replace him with; or how to place my infield or outfield to defend properly against the opposing hitter.

Fans tend to get too excited by streaks of either kind and I think the press does too. There should be a happy medium.

Perhaps the truest axiom in baseball is that the toughest thing to do is repeat.
