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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
One of the many things I like about baseball is how it combines individual talent and teamsmanship.
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.
The economics of baseball are the big problem. The big clubs make a lot of money and the little clubs don't.
In my opinion, baseball is as big a business as anything there is. It has to be a business, the way it is conducted.
If you're playing baseball and thinking about managing, you're crazy. You'd be better off thinking about being an owner.
My main objective is to prepare candidates for professional baseball; however, the majority of our graduates will go home as much better qualified amateurs.
All ballplayers want to wind up their careers with the Cubs, Giants or Yankees. They just can't help it.
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.
A baseball team is like a band. Because, conceptually, there are no heroes in baseball - there's just the team.
