Playing baseball is fun. If I could play, I'd never retire. But managing is work. It's constant decisions of whose feelings you want to hurt all the time.

If I had any interest in coming back to baseball, it would be as a general manager and not as a manager.

Your job as a baseball player is to come to the park ready to play every day, and the manager, it's his job to make those decisions about who plays.

A baseball manager is a necessary evil.

Even though my dad was a manager in the minor leagues, I still traveled around with him and saw it from the field out. Now, as an owner, you're kind of looking from the whole baseball activity from outside in, from a fan's perspective.

I've always wanted to be the best in the world as a baseball player, so when I started to think about opening a business, it was with that mindset.

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.

Managing is getting paid for home runs that someone else hits.

I'm a big baseball fan, and I feel proprietary about the Dodgers. I'm not the owner. I'm not the manager. But I feel passionate about the decisions that they make, and I take it personally when they make decisions I don't like.
