Quote

As a player, to me the Dodgers were the Yankees of the National League because... you either loved them or you hated them.

I like the Dodgers because my dad does - wait, no, not the Dodgers. Strike me down! The Yankees. I like the Yankees.

After you manage the Yankees for 12 years, it's really tough to envision going somewhere else. But then the Dodgers called.

The game of baseball is better when the Dodgers are playing well, just like when the Yankees are playing well, or the Cubs, the Phillies, the big-name teams.

I am disappointed and disturbed by both the NFL and the Dodgers - but much more by the Dodgers.

I'm a Kansas City kid, so I love my Royals and Chiefs. I went to the University of Kansas, so I love the Jayhawks. But I live in L.A., so I'm a fan of the Dodgers.

I guess what really made me a Dodgers fan from the beginning was that the team had Jackie Robinson, the first 'Negro' in the major leagues.

I rooted for the Dodgers when they were in Brooklyn.

I hated the Yankees and Dodgers and wound up managing both.

I'm sure everyone knows that my heart is and always will be with the players, the fans and the entire Dodger family. I've cared about the Dodgers for nearly my entire life, and nothing can change my allegiance to this franchise.
