The only thing I believe is this: 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.

Just give me 25 guys on the last year of their contracts; I'll win a pennant every year.

Players have two things to do. Play and keep their mouths shut.

I understand people who boo us. It's like going to Broadway show, you pay for your tickets and expect to be entertained. When you're not, you have a right to complain.

I don't 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 only had a high school education and believe me, I had to cheat to get that.
