I'm not afraid to learn from my coaches.

Desire and determination must overcome disappointment.

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

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.

The toughest thing about managing is knowing your personnel and what it can give you under all conditions.

I'd rather win two or three, lose one, win two or three more. I'm a great believer in things evening out. If you win a whole bunch in a row, somewhere along the line you're going to lose some, too.

More than anyone else, he's (Hank Aaron) made me wish I wasn't a manager.
