Son, we'd like to keep you around this season but we're going to try and win a pennant.

If we're going to win the pennant, we've got to start thinking we're not as good as we think we are.

You win pennants in the off season when you build your teams with trades and free agents.

The team that wins two-thirds of its one run games usually wins the pennant.

Pennant races drain the energy from the best of them. Old-fashioned baseball races are to me the most grueling daily test in any sport. Gotta keep coming out, every day, in the face of looming disaster.

The team that gets off to a good start wins pennants.

We should have won the pennant that year. It was the best club I was ever on.

Just give me 25 guys on the last year of their contracts; I'll win a pennant every year.

And if I have my choice between a pennant and a triple crown, I'll take the pennant every time.
