All Last Year We Tried To Teach

I Managed The Dodgers For 20 Years. It's Hard To Believe That There Are Only Four Guys In The History Of Baseball Who Managed The Same Team For 20 Years Or More. One Was Owner Of The Team, Connie Mack. Another Was Part Owner Of The Team, John Mcgraw. Then There Was My Predecessor, Walter Alston, And Me. It's Amazing. In The 20 Years I Managed The Dodgers, 210 Managers Were Fired.

I've Been Able To Dine With Presidents, With Leaders Of Corporations, Traveled For 14 Years With (financier And Philanthropist) Michael Milken, Who Has Taught Me So Much About Life. Hanging Around With Them, It's Nothing I Could Have Believed In Grade School. I Could Be With All Of Them? Milton Berle, Don Rickles, Dean Martin ... This Former Third-string Pitcher From The Norristown High Baseball Team And The Son Of An Italian Immigrant? I Really Am In Awe When I Think That Has Happened To Me. What A Life.

Everything I Have, I Owe To Baseball And The Dodgers.

I Was Fortunate Enough To Coach The Us Olympic Team In Australia. The Parks Were Full At All Times. How Can They Take Away A Sport Like That?
