The first books I was interested in were all about baseball. But I can’t think of one single book that changed my life in any way Picture Quote #1

Baseball is a universe as large as life itself, and therefore all things in life, whether good or bad, whether tragic or comic, fall within its domain Picture Quote #1

I love baseball, I really do. I always told my Dad, I’m not gonna make it working... I like to play ball too much. Which I did. I played hard. You gotta work at this game. You really do. And its fun doing it if you do it the right way Picture Quote #1

In a tradition second in wonderful absurdity only to 60-year-old baseball managers wearing uniforms and spikes in the dugout, golf spectators come dressed ready to play 18 Picture Quote #1

If I had any interest in coming back to baseball, it would be as a general manager and not as a manager Picture Quote #1

That’s all baseball is, is numbers; it’s run by numbers, averages, percentage and odds. Managers make their decisions based on the numbers Picture Quote #1

If you seriously aspire to be a manager in the big leagues, there is a baseball ‘book’ that one must learn. Alongside that book, you must practice Spanish. Of 25 players on each roster, sometimes there are between eight and 15 players who speak Spanish Picture Quote #1

I started in the lowest league in baseball, and I worked my way all the way up to Triple A and then to the big leagues. I never reached the level that I thought I would reach as a player. But that’s the way it goes. So then I started from the bottom as a manager, and I worked my way up to managing the Dodgers for 20 years Picture Quote #1

Sport is a wonderful metaphor for life. Of all the sports that I played - skiing, baseball, fishing - there is no greater example than golf, because you’re playing against yourself and nature Picture Quote #1

My mom, she wasn’t like a baseball mother who knew everything about the game. She just wanted me to be happy with what I was doing Picture Quote #1

Opening day. All you have to do is say the words and you feel the shutters thrown wide, the room air out, the light pour in. In baseball, no other day is so pure with possibility. No scores yet, no losses, no blame or disappointment. No hangover, at least until the game’s over Picture Quote #1

Golf has always been a part of my life. My parents have footage of me in a walker swinging a plastic club. If I didn’t play golf, I would have been a baseball player. I could sit and watch baseball all day Picture Quote #1

My father kept me busy from dawn to dusk when I was a kid. When I wasn’t pitching hay, hauling corn or running a tractor, I was heaving a baseball into his mitt behind the barn... If all the parents in the country followed his rule, juvenile delinquency would be cut in half in a year’s time Picture Quote #1

The day I left baseball, I became smart. When I was in baseball, I played for the love of the game. I’d sign any contract they gave me. But then I stopped playing and began doing interviews with the players at the ball park. I began to see the light Picture Quote #1

And because I have a four-year-old son I have become a great baseball pitcher. And, you know, juggler Picture Quote #1

For a while I wanted to be a professional baseball pitcher, and then I wanted to be a musician and then sometimes I think I’d like to start a store for gift-wrapping Christmas presents...But I feel I could do most things I set my mind to, except mechanical things, I’m not very good at that Picture Quote #1

I like football. I like baseball. When the pitcher and the batter start fighting, that’s the best Picture Quote #1

The game of baseball between pitcher and hitter sets up like a game of chess in that you have to anticipate several moves ahead to set up your opponent Picture Quote #1

I think that’s why I like baseball. There’s something great about it - you’re young, the pitcher’s young and he’s got this great arm, and he doesn’t really realize anything about strategy Picture Quote #1

Your body is not made to throw like we throw. That’s why you see softball pitchers pitching two or three games a day. It’s a natural movement in softball. In baseball it’s not a natural movement Picture Quote #1

In baseball, you can do something poorly and still get credit. A pitcher could throw a bad ball, the batter hit a screaming line drive, and an outfielder make a fantastic diving catch. Yet, when you look at historical databases, 80% of the time when a ball is struck with that trajectory and velocity, it is a hit Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1
