Pat Gillick Quotes

I was trying to land an 18-year-old strapping first baseman from Blanco, Texas, population 200. His name was Willie Upshaw. It turned out there were only three scouts who knew about Willie - Dave Yocum and I working for the Yankees, and Al LaMacchia from the Atlanta Braves Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

When you talk about the American League, you think of Fenway. When you talk about the National League, you think of Wrigley and the fan base that they have in Chicago Picture Quote #1

Texting is a lot like an answering machine. If you don’t want to talk to somebody, it’s like screening your calls. To me, it’s a way of communication, but not one that I favor Picture Quote #1

At the high school level, the coaches get these kids in revenue-driven sports and take them away from baseball. There’s so much pressure on these kids to even play spring football. We need to get the African-American players back in the game, which I think would make it not only a better game, but more exciting and entertaining for everyone Picture Quote #1

Philadelphia loves its team, and being able to win a World Series for the city, fans, players and our Phillies organization meant so much to me Picture Quote #1

No matter how much technology changes scouting, no matter how much free agency and big TV contracts change the business of baseball, I hope and pray that the heart of the game will never change Picture Quote #1

There’s always, I guess, a philosophy that if you come in, you want to change all the parts, you want to change everything over. I’ve always tried to preach that consistency and continuity are very, very important. So if I know the baseball people, and I know they’re competent and could do the job, I don’t see any reason to replace them Picture Quote #1

What was the first name of the Houston club? It wasn’t the Astros. It was the Colt .45s. A lot of guys now will say Colt 45 is a beer. But it was also a pistol, and it went right with Texas Picture Quote #1

I was lucky to go to work every day for 50 years, to a job that I loved Picture Quote #1
