Here's a few more.
Me carrying a briefcase is like a hot dog wearing earrings.
Hes (Willie Stargell has) got power enough to hit home runs in any park, including Yellowstone.
My idea of managing is giving the ball to Tom Seaver and sitting down and watching him work.
Ive got my faults, but living in the past is not one of them. Theres no future in it.
We averaged 96 wins my nine years in Cincinnati. We had Bench, Rose, Morgan, Perez, Foster, Griffey, Concepcion and Geronimo. Imagine what I could have done if they (the Reds front office) had given me some players!
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.
You give us the pitching some of these clubs have, and no one could touch us, but God has a way of not arranging that because its not as much fun.
Just give me 25 guys on the last year of their contracts; Ill win a pennant every year.
I dont believe a manager ever won a pennant. Casey Stengel won all those pennants with the Yankees. How many did he win with the Boston Braves and Mets?
I dont want to embarrass any other catcher by comparing him to Johnny Bench.
Baseball is a simple game. If you have good players and if you keep them in the right frame of mind, then the manager is a success.
Players have two things to do: Play and keep their mouths shut.
I only had a high school education, and believe me, I had to cheat to get that.
I dont know why the players make such a big fuss about sitting in the first-class section of the plane. Does that mean theyll get there faster?
I cant believe they pay us to play baseball something we did for free as kids.
The players make the manager. Its never the other way.
The only reason Im coming out here tomorrow is because the schedule says I have to.
