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.

Individual grievances and pet peeves have got to go by the wayside. Generally, you don't have to worry about the guys who are playing every day, it's the guys who are sitting on the bench that are the ones that get needles in their pants.

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

It's not the winter that bothers me - it's the summers.

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