Quotes of 1972

Quotes taken from the authors in 1972

It's not any one person. It's not any one coach. It's the team.

I grew up in a great family.

Competition helps people figure it out.

I enjoyed being involved in team sports and making close friendships.

I think competition is very important; it breeds many good things in a person.

Many children work hard to please their parents, but what I truly longed for was good times that were about us, not about me. That is the real hole the Dodgers filled in my life.

Well, I know that I'll never forget that, but also I won't forget the hundreds of people who sent me letters, telegrams, and postcards during that World Series. There wasn't a single nasty message. Everybody tried to say something nice.

I can't very well tell my batters don't hit it to him. Wherever they hit it, he's there anyway.

As soon as he hit it, I thought I had it. But I lost it when it went into the lights. I did my best.

I come to spring training and just try to do my job, try to do the best I can. That's all any player can do.

I don't get nervous.

I don't know nothing about nothing.

I know how to prepare my head.

I made a lot of good friends in Philadelphia and the last thing that I would want to do is dog anyone in that clubhouse. If I made it sound like that, it was a mistake.

You've never seen Manhattan 'til you've flown right up the East River. It's beautiful.

On the days I'm pitching, it's almost a coin flip as to know if the guys behind me are going to be there to play 100%.

I may not be in the weight room as much as some guys, but I get my work done.

Ninety-nine percent of pilots that go up never have engine failure, and the 1 percent that do usually land it. But if you're up in the air and something goes wrong, you pull that parachute, and the whole plane goes down slowly.

We can't win at home. We can't win on the road. As general manager, I just can't figure out where else to play.

We were so bad last year, the cheerleaders stayed home and phoned in the cheers.
