Getting fired is what happens to a manager sooner or later.
From Joe Torre
Every place where I played or managed is special to me because of the memories and the friendships that each afforded me.
When I was 16 years old, my brother Frank said, 'You'd better become a catcher, because you're too big and fat to do anything else.' Well, I took his advice. It was a quick way to get to the big leagues, and I've never regretted it.
That's the sign of a good relationship, when you can pick up a phone and it doesn't matter when the last time you spoke was.
As a supporter of the Prostate Cancer Foundation and their Home Run Challenge program, I am extremely grateful for the valuable partnerships and relationships built with Major League Baseball and our affiliates.
When you're in a slump, you do something different, just to try it. I remember one time I was in a slump, and I borrowed one of Henry Aaron's bats and hit two homers. I used my own bats the next night. I just needed a change.
My 12 years in New York were very, very special, the fans were very special, and it's something I will take with me wherever I go and into retirement.
Baseball, while you're doing it, you think it's going to last forever.
I met Tiger Woods, and I looked in his eyes - and I saw Derek Jeter. They don't have to tell people they're good. They just prove it by the way they love the competition.
Respect is the word I want. You have to earn it. You give, and you get it in return, that's how I see it.
