I've been lucky to have a lot of opportunities to help people.
I'd like to say this was our worst game. Unfortunately, I can't.
I think there are some players born to play ball.
I can't get into specifics. Someday, hopefully, I'll be able to.
We should have won this one. I think it is a lost opportunity.
I think each one of us has committed to improving.
We have a good team, and I think we'll have a good season this year.
I have never turned to my girlfriend and said, 'Oh, okay, babe,' and I see it in scripts all the time.
And if I have my choice between a pennant and a triple crown, I'll take the pennant every time.
I'm a fair manager, put it that way. I like to be fair with the players, but there's a time for discipline.
Many people have this image of me. For a long time, I cared about that.
We just have to get it going and play hard every time out.
I've had 117 fights and that's the first time I've ever won.
Any time you think you have the game conquered, the game will turn around and punch you right in the nose.
I've spent more time in hospitals than some fellows ever spend in church.
The thing most people don't understand is that pitching isn't the same every time out.
[toasting each other with a glass of Beaujolais] Doc: Cheers. Babe: Up yours.
It's the same with the ballplayers. Babe Ruth spent a lot, too and the ballplayers make a lot more money now.
Many baseball fans look upon an umpire as a sort of necessary evil to the luxury of baseball, like the odor that follows an automobile.
Can you be a nicer gentleman, or a better man for your sport or your kids than Joe Paterno?
I don't want to play golf. When I hit a ball, I want someone else to go chase it.
