I think that I have a sensitivity toward people, and that is a strength.
From Joe Torre
I believe anybody who is not afraid to fail is a winner.
When we lost, I couldn't sleep at night. When we win, I can't sleep at night. But, when you win, you wake up feeling better.
You're always in the storm's eye, so to speak, when you're with the Yankees.
That's what I'd like to think that my reputation is - being honest.
After you manage the Yankees for 12 years, it's really tough to envision going somewhere else. But then the Dodgers called.
First of all, you want umpires to call what they see. In the case of fair or foul, the smartest thing is to call the ball fair. Because if it's called foul and ruled fair, where do we put the runners?
Pitchers make adjustments, and it's up to the hitters to readjust and sort of tweak what they do.
I played for 18 years, but the only thing that meant anything to me was the World Series.
When you've been in the game as long as I have, you know the managers you've played for, the good ones and the bad ones. Even the good ones get fired.
