The team that wins two-thirds of its one run games usually wins the pennant.

Pressure? Well it ain't hitting in forty-four straight games, because I done that and it was fun. The playoffs are pressure.

Four or five times a week, ... But I never bet against my own team, and I never made any bets from the clubhouse.

I don't think a manager should be judged by whether he wins the pennant, but by whether he gets the most out of the twenty-five men he's been given.

I think we had the team to do this (win the pennant),

A team will take on its manager's personality. If it's a laid back manager, you'll have a laid back personality. The players will see that if it's OK for the Manager to be laid back, then you'll have a laid back team.
