Sparky Anderson Quotes

I’ve changed my mind about it (DH) - instead of being bad, it stinks Picture Quote #1

Good seasons start with good beginnings Picture Quote #1

Me carrying a briefcase is like a hotdog wearing earrings Picture Quote #1

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? Picture Quote #1

If a team is in a positive frame of mind, it will have a good attitude. If it has a good attitude, it will make a commitment to playing the game right. If it plays the game right, it will win-unless, of course, it doesn’t have enough talent to win, and no manager can make goose-liver pate out of goose feathers, so why worry? Picture Quote #1

I’m beginning to see Brooks [Robinson] in my sleep. If I dropped a paper plate, he’d pick it up on one hop and throw me out at first Picture Quote #1

Pete (Rose) doesn’t run with celebrities and he can’t stand the phonies. His big buddy in LA ain’t Sinatra, it’s a funny old groundskeeper Picture Quote #1

He’s (Willie Stargell) such a big strong guy he should love that porch. He’s got power enough to hit home runs in any park, including Yellowstone Picture Quote #1

Casey (Stengel) knew his baseball. He only made it look like he was fooling around. He knew every move that was ever invented and some that we haven’t even caught on to yet Picture Quote #1

You’re gonna lose some ball games and you’re gonna win some ball games and that’s about it Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to embarrass any other catcher by comparing him to Johnny Bench Picture Quote #1

I understand people who boo us. It’s like going to Broadway show, you pay for your tickets and expect to be entertained. When you’re not, you have a right to complain Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

My idea of managing is giving the ball to Tom Seaver and sitting down and watching him work Picture Quote #1

The great thing about baseball is when you’re done, you’ll only tell your grandchildren the good things. If they ask me about 1989, I’ll tell them I had amnesia Picture Quote #1

They say the first World Series is the one you remember most. No, no no. I guarantee you don’t remember that one because the fantasy world you always dreamed about is suddenly real Picture Quote #1

You give us the pitching some of these clubs have and no one could touch us, but God has a way of not arranging that, because it’s not as much fun Picture Quote #1

The trick is to realize that after giving your best, there’s nothing more to give... Win or lose the game is finished. It’s over. It’s time to forget and prepare for the next one Picture Quote #1

Just give me 25 guys on the last year of their contracts; I’ll win a pennant every year Picture Quote #1

Am I a great manager? Huh. I was blessed to have a front office that found great talent, and then I was smart enough to stay the hell out of their way Picture Quote #1
