Coach

Mengelola seperti memegang burung merpati di tangan Anda. Peras terlalu kuat dan Anda membunuhnya, tidak cukup keras dan ia terbang menjauh.

No matter how good you are, you're going to lose one-third of your games. No matter how bad you are, you're going to win one-third of your games. It's the other third that makes the difference.

There are three kinds of people in this world: people who make it happen, people who watch what happens, and people who wonder what happened.

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.

Saya percaya kata managing berarti memegang burung dara di kepalan tangan. Kalau terlalu kencang ia akan mati. Tapi bila terlalu kendur, bisa terlepas.

Everybody wants to win, but everybody doesn't win.

The only Angels in Los Angeles are in Heaven, and they're looking down on the Dodgers.

I've always called L.A. 'the world capital of sport.'

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 am so happy and proud to learn of Hideo Nomo's election to the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame. He was quite a pitcher and competitor, but he is also a very special and caring person.

I firmly believe that there is a God. I firmly believe that there is a Heaven. And I firmly believe that if you go there, it's gonna be great.

Everywhere I go, I feel strange.

When I was interviewed after I got hired to replace Walter Alston, a future Hall of Famer, I was asked: 'Don't you feel pressure on you?' I said: 'Want to know something? I'm worried about the guy who's going to have to replace me.'

Chan Ho had a great career and was the exemplification of class, dignity and character.

If you don't love the Dodgers, there's a good chance you may not get into Heaven.

No, we don't cheat. And even if we did, I'd never tell you.

They could never beat me in Springfield. I loved that old ballpark. If I could have pitched there all my career, I'd be a 300-game winner.

People say you can't go out and eat with your players. I say why not.

Grownups have to say 'please,' too.

When you - when you become the manager of a major league team, particularly the Dodgers, to me, that's a privilege and an honor. No matter where you go or what you do, you represent that position that you have. And you represent that organization that gave you the opportunity to be doing what you're doing.
