One Time I Was Doing A Speech To A Group Of Kids, And Just Before I Get There, I See This Little Kid Crying. I Found Out They Just Lost A Game, And He Was The Losing Pitcher. I Went Over There, Put My Arm Around Him, And Said, 'what Are You Crying For? When Major League Players Lose, They Don't Cry.'

I Managed The Dodgers For 20 Years. It's Hard To Believe That There Are Only Four Guys In The History Of Baseball Who Managed The Same Team For 20 Years Or More. One Was Owner Of The Team, Connie Mack. Another Was Part Owner Of The Team, John Mcgraw. Then There Was My Predecessor, Walter Alston, And Me. It's Amazing. In The 20 Years I Managed The Dodgers, 210 Managers Were Fired.
