The great trouble with baseball today is that most of the players are in the game for the money and that's it, not for the love of it, the excitement of it, the thrill of it.

Playing baseball was my dream, and no amount of money could sway my opinion.

Building a baseball team is like building a house. You look for the best architects, the best builders - and then you let them do their jobs.

Baseball is a team game.

Baseball is a simple game. If you have good players and if you keep them in the right frame of mind then the manager is a success.

Baseball is a lot like life. It's a day-to-day existence, full of ups and downs. You make the most of your opportunities in baseball as you do in life.

Major league baseball is about the history of the game. Baseball history is so important. It's so much more than money.

Baseball is a team game but, at the same time, it's a very lonely game: unlike in soccer or basketball, where players roam around, in baseball everyone has their little plot of the field to tend. When the action comes to you, the spotlight is on you but no one can help you.

I've been in baseball my whole life, so I understand there's a lot in baseball that is out of your control, and you have to focus on the things you can control.
