A Player Does Not Have

Chris Pittaro Is The Best Rookie I've Had In 15 Years.

The Man I Marvel At Is The One That's In There Day After Day, And Night After Night And Still Puts The Figures On The Board. I'm Talking About Pete Rose, Stan Musial, The Real Stars. Believe Me, Especially The Way We Travel Today, Flying All Night With A Game The Next Night And Then The Next Afternoon, If You Can Play One-hundred And Sixty-two Games, You're A Man.

I Managed 26 Years And Found Out When I Retired I Didn't Own The Game. I Thought I Owned It When I Was Managing All Those Years. You Can Climb To The Top Of The Mountain, Get Down On Your Knees And Kiss The Ground, Because You'll Never Own That Mountain. That Mountain Is Only Owned By One Single Person, And He'll Never Give It Up. That's The Way Baseball Is.

A Baseball Manager Is A Necessary Evil.

People Who Live In The Past Generally Are Afraid To Compete In The Present. I've Got My Faults, But Living In The Past Is Not One Of Them. There's No Future In It.
