I feel greatly honored to have a ballpark named after me, especially since I've been thrown out of so many.
If you're playing baseball and thinking about managing, you're crazy. You'd be better off thinking about being an owner.
Sure I played, did you think I was born at the age of 70 sitting in a dugout trying to manage guys like you?
I came in here and a fella asked me to have a drink. I said I don't drink. Then another fella said hear you and Joe DiMaggio aren't speaking and I said I'll take that drink.
The key to being a good manager is keeping the people who hate me away from those who are still undecided.
They say some of my stars drink whiskey, but I have found that ones who drink milkshakes don't win many ball games.
The secret of successful managing is to keep the five guys who hate you away from the four guys who haven't made up their minds.
Oldtimers, weekends, and airplane landings are alike. If you can walk away from them, they're successful.
They told me my services were no longer desired because they wanted to put in a youth program as an advance way of keeping the club going. I'll never make the mistake of being seventy again.
When you are younger you get blamed for crimes you never committed and when you're older you begin to get credit for virtues you never possessed. It evens itself out.
You gotta learn that if you don't get it by midnight, chances are you ain't gonna get it, and if you do, it ain't worth it.
Being with a woman all night never hurt no professional baseball player. It's staying up all night looking for a woman that does him in.
