No one’s going to give a damn in July if you lost a game in March.

If you don’t make any promises to your players, you won’t have to break them.

The easiest way around the bases is with one swing of the bat.

Your most precious possessions on offense are your 27 outs.

If you play for one run, that’s all you’ll get.

Don’t play for one run unless you know that run will win a ballgame.

It’s easier to find four good starters than five.

The best place for a rookie pitcher is long relief.

The key step for an infielder is the first one—left or right—but before the ball is hit.

The job of arguing with the umpires belongs to the manager, because it won’t hurt the team if he gets kicked out of the game.
