Pete Rose Is Baseball.

It's A Terrible Thing To Have To Tell Your Fans, Who Have Waited Like Detroit's Have, That Their Team Won't Win It This Year. But It's Better Than Lying To Them.

You're Gonna Lose Some Ball Games And You're Gonna Win Some Ball Games And That's About It.

I Don't Believe A Manager Ever Won A Pennant. Casey Stengel Won All Those Pennants With The Yankees. How Many Did He Win With The Boston Braves And Mets?

I Managed 26 Years And Found Out When I Retired I Didn't Own The Game. I Thought I Owned It When I Was Managing All Those Years. You Can Climb To The Top Of The Mountain, Get Down On Your Knees And Kiss The Ground, Because You'll Never Own That Mountain. That Mountain Is Only Owned By One Single Person, And He'll Never Give It Up. That's The Way Baseball Is.

A Player Does Not Have To Like A Manager And He Does Not Have To Respect A Manager. All He Has To Do Is Obey The Rules.
