If I disliked managing, I liked umpiring even less.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I hate management. I hate management. I just do.
The toughest thing about managing is knowing your personnel and what it can give you under all conditions.
I enjoy building more than managing.
The main thing I wanted was to manage.
Managing is like holding a dove in your hand. Squeeze too hard and you kill it, not hard enough and it flies away.
The key to being a good manager is keeping the people who hate me away from those who are still undecided.
I find being a manager really challenging. For instance, I don't enjoy some of the administrative tasks that go along with hiring and firing.
I'm a natural management guy. I had forgotten that. And I forgot how much I hate it.
I reached the point where I actually enjoyed the umpiring more than playing.
I got even with all the bad management I had by being a good manager.
