The key to being a good manager is keeping the people who hate me away from those who are still undecided.

Do you realize how good you have to be to strike out 2000 times?

If anybody needs me, I'm in my room being embalmed.

I was not successful as a ball player, as it was a game of skill.

Son, we'd like to keep you around this season but we're going to try and win a pennant.

It's wonderful to meet so many friends that I didn't used to like.

We was going to get you a birthday cake, but we figured you'd drop it.

No baseball pitcher would be worth a darn without a catcher who could handle the hot fastball.

Most ball games are lost, not won.

Mr. that boy couldn't hit the ground if he fell out of an airplane.

We are a much improved ball club: now we lose in extra innings!

Without losers, where would the winners be?

I made up my mind, but I made it up both ways.

The trick is growing up without growing old.

Good pitching will always stop good hitting and vice-versa.

Most people my age are dead at the present time and you can look it up.

The Mets have shown me more ways to lose than I even knew existed.

Never make bad predictions, especially about the futture.

They say it can't be done, but sometimes that doesn't always work.
