Quotes

  • Nowadays, when a pitcher gets a ball close to the hitter, the hitter comes back to the bench and says: "You know, I think he's throwing at me." That shows you how times have changed. When I broke in, you knew damned well they were throwing at you.
  • There comes a time at least once in every man's life, and I've had plenty of them.
  • Maybe, but I don't have another life to live to wait around for it.
  • I guess this means they fired me. I'll never make the mistake of being 70 years old again.
  • This makes a man think. You look up and down the bench and you say to yourself, "Can't anybody here play this game?"
  • Now the secret to successful managing is to break down your club. The first 15 guys you don't have to bother with. They are always playing and don't need the manager. The next five play only occasionally, so you got to keep buttering them up. The last five you gotta watch all the time because they're plotting to get you fired.
