It's huge. You win the first game of the series, you want to win the series.

It's something you hope doesn't happen. When you sign on to do a job, you hope you'll be able to get it done. But that's not always in your control.

It's huge. You win the first game of the series, you want to win the series.

When we lost, I couldn't sleep at night. When we win, I can't sleep at night. But, when you win, you wake up feeling better.

'Million Dollar Arm' touches on many of the Safe At Home Foundation's core values, such as children, teamwork and family.

After you manage the Yankees for 12 years, it's really tough to envision going somewhere else. But then the Dodgers called.

As a member of a competitive team, you want to make sure you have yourself ready to play. You don't control anything but what you do.

As a player, to me the Dodgers were the Yankees of the National League because... you either loved them or you hated them.

As a supporter of the Prostate Cancer Foundation and their Home Run Challenge program, I am extremely grateful for the valuable partnerships and relationships built with Major League Baseball and our affiliates.

At 7-1, your pitching has obviously controlled that other team. At 16-10, I'm not sure when it's safe.

Baseball has always been filled with negative statistics.

Baseball has changed dramatically since I began my tenure with the Yankees.

Baseball is a team sport played by individuals for themselves.

Baseball, while you're doing it, you think it's going to last forever.

By rule, the decision to reverse a call by use of instant replay is at the sole discretion of the crew chief.

Chicago is a pretty good town.

Competing at the highest level is not about winning. It's about preparation, courage, understanding and nurturing your people, and heart. Winning is the result.

Even though I was never a Yankee fan until I put on the uniform, when you think about the deep history of this organization, you always knew what the Yankees represented.

Every place where I played or managed is special to me because of the memories and the friendships that each afforded me.

Every time I pull somebody out of the bullpen, I believe he can do the job. I have to believe it. If he doesn't, hopefully he will do it the next time.

First of all, you want umpires to call what they see. In the case of fair or foul, the smartest thing is to call the ball fair. Because if it's called foul and ruled fair, where do we put the runners?

Getting fired is what happens to a manager sooner or later.

Golf is the only game I know where you call a foul on yourself.

Home-plate collisions are something you cannot ignore.

I am deeply saddened and shocked at the loss of umpire Wally Bell.

I believe anybody who is not afraid to fail is a winner.

I can understand the fact you don't want the ball slipping out of a pitcher's hand because someone can get hurt.

I don't have a great deal of stress job-wise in my life, and that feels good.

I don't think there's any player that's more talented than Alex Rodriguez. He cares very deeply about doing well. Baseball is his life. He puts a lot of pressure on himself.

I feel very fortunate to have broken in with the Milwaukee Braves organization.

I felt there was a lot of love in my house. And my mom was, you know, the basis of all that.

I hated the Yankees and Dodgers and wound up managing both.

I have great confidence in Rick Caruso's unique qualifications and his ability to lead a successful bid for the Los Angeles Dodgers.

I have no problem with cheating. Whatever you can get away with.

I just don't like to dwell on stuff.

I knew what the Dodgers uniform represented as a kid growing up in Brooklyn.

I know in the heat of battle, it's hard not to get angry, especially in the 19th inning.

I met Tiger Woods, and I looked in his eyes - and I saw Derek Jeter. They don't have to tell people they're good. They just prove it by the way they love the competition.

I never concerned myself with other people's decisions.

I played for 18 years, but the only thing that meant anything to me was the World Series.

I think that I have a sensitivity toward people, and that is a strength.

I think that winning creates chemistry, as opposed to other way around. I've been on a lot of friendly teams that couldn't win, trust me.

I think there's more of opportunity to win games in the National League than the American League because there are more decisions to make.

I was always a little hesitant to accuse people of loading a bat to hit a ball farther. I was always very hesitant to approach people because I never had any evidence that I had firsthand knowledge of.

I won't be managing the Mets. I am closing the door on managing the Mets and probably everybody else.

I'm a very private person, and I don't want to share stuff with anyone.

I'm not very complicated.

I've been very, very fortunate. I never had to work for a living.

I've enjoyed my time in the American League, the fans of Southern California and other friendships.
