hate i-hate loses
I hate to lose. Hate, hate, hate to lose.
determination intelligent men
Surround yourself with amazingly intelligent men and women. The people I work with not only are smarter than I am, possessing both intellectual and emotional intelligence, but also share my determination to succeed. I will not make an important decision without them.
tradition protect
When you're entrusted with a tradition, you've got to protect it.
agreement people doe
People keep coming up to me and asking, 'How does it feel to be banned for life?' Banned for life. I wasn't banned for life. There was never a word of suspension, probation or ban in that agreement. It was never meant to be part of it.
thinking helping-someone forever
I don't think that anybody should be suspended for life for anything, other than murder. How is it helping someone to say, 'You're done forever, your life's over'?
punishment
Let's not talk punishment.
baseball beer judging
Is it in the best interest of baseball to sell beer in the ninth inning? Probably not. The rule has got to be more clearly defined. And then some process should be set up where the judge is not also the appeals judge.
share hernias pulling
If you haven't got a hernia yet, you ain't pulling your share.
baseball agency yankees
I am dead set against free agency. It can ruin baseball.
tough sometimes unreasonable
I am tough. Sometimes I'm unreasonable. I have to catch myself every once in a while.
thinking supportive may
I was often misquoted. I was supportive of my managers, even though they all may not think so.
thinking want fame
I don't want to be in the Hall of Fame. I don't think owners should be.
winning care i-dont-care
Winning was everything. I don’t care what they tell you.
funny softball player
