Our Pitching Could Be Better Than I

My Idea Of Managing Is Giving The Ball To Tom Seaver And Sitting Down And Watching Him Work.

I Managed 26 Years And Found Out When I Retired I Didn't Own The Game. I Thought I Owned It When I Was Managing All Those Years. You Can Climb To The Top Of The Mountain, Get Down On Your Knees And Kiss The Ground, Because You'll Never Own That Mountain. That Mountain Is Only Owned By One Single Person, And He'll Never Give It Up. That's The Way Baseball Is.

The Man I Marvel At Is The One That's In There Day After Day, And Night After Night And Still Puts The Figures On The Board. I'm Talking About Pete Rose, Stan Musial, The Real Stars. Believe Me, Especially The Way We Travel Today, Flying All Night With A Game The Next Night And Then The Next Afternoon, If You Can Play One-hundred And Sixty-two Games, You're A Man.

Pete (rose) Doesn't Run With Celebrities And He Can't Stand The Phonies. His Big Buddy In La Ain't Sinatra, It's A Funny Old Groundskeeper.

If I Ever Find A Pitcher Who Has Heat, A Good Curve, And A Slider, I Might Seriously Consider Marrying Him, Or At Least Proposing.
