The fan is the one who suffers. He cheers a guy to a .350 season then watches that player sign with another team. When you destroy fan loyalties, you destroy everything.
From Frank Robinson
All in all, I wouldn't call it a bad outing. It was a short outing.
People come out to see the players. When do you see a manager anyway? When he's out on the field arguing with the umpires, making a fool of himself and you know you can't win, and when he brings out the line-up card.
Close don't count in baseball. Close only counts in horseshoes and grenades.
I just didn't have anything to say, so I said nothing.
If the guys on the bench were as good as the guys you have out there, they'd be out there in first place.
I always tried to do the best. I knew I couldn't always be the best, but I tried to be.
Pitchers did me a favor when they knocked me down. It made me more determined. I wouldn't let that pitcher get me out. They say you can't hit if you're on your back, but I didn't hit on my back. I got up.
It's nice to come into a town and be referred to as the manager of the Cleveland Indians instead of as the first black manager.
I know a lot of people on the field - players, coaches, managers - are glad that I'm gone.
