Just Give Me 25 Guys

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.

If I Ever Find A Pitcher Who Has Heat, A Good Curve, And A Slider, I Might Seriously Consider Marrying Him, Or At Least Proposing.

Just Give Me 25 Guys On The Last Year Of Their Contracts; I'll Win A Pennant Every Year.

Baseball Is A Simple Game. If You Have Good Players, And You Keep Them In The Right Frame Of Mind, The Manager Is A Success. The Players Make The Manager. It's Never The Other Way. Managing Is Not Running, Hitting, Or Stealing. Managing Is Getting Your Players To Put Out One Hundred Percent Year After Year. A Player Does Not Have To Like A Manager And He Does Not Have To Respect A Manager. All He Has To Do Is Obey The Rules. Talent Is One Thing. Being Able To Go From Spring To October Is Another. You Just Got Caught In A Position Where You Have No Position.
