There's not too many teams that can succeed on and off the field together.

The coach's job is to get the best players and get them to play together.

You know, when you can play with the greatest players of that particular era, you look forward to going to the ballpark. I mean, you thought it was great to be there in the clubhouse. You thought it was great to be on the field.

When I first came into baseball, people didn't want to hear that a team was a business. But it is. And the better the business is run, the healthier the team on the field is going to be.

I think the players win the championship, and the organization has something to do with it, don't get me wrong. But don't try to put the organization above the players.

Sure, the home-field is an advantage - but so is having a lot of talent.

When you have the ball in your hand, you're the most important guy in the whole organization.

One of the many things I like about baseball is how it combines individual talent and teamsmanship.

It takes two guys on a team to do very well in the end and be successful.

In the normal process of evaluating the end of the season, I meet with key executives for thorough discussions and evaluations of all aspects of football operations.
