I hated the Yankees and Dodgers and wound up managing both.
Joe Torre
Image
Obviously generating revenue is what this is all about anymore, which is sad, but again, you have to find ways to make it work. But, yeah, that's certainly intriguing.

Image
There will be a time when everyone on the team is going to contribute to winning a pennant.

It's not easy to just say you don't want to do something any more.
Joe Torre
Image
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.
Joe Torre
Image
My greatest talent is calmness and being positive. I concentrate on what you can do even in the worst of times. You don't judge by last week's errors or lost opportunity.
Joe Torre
Image
If a club is winning, you never pay attention to a guy who's 0-for-10. If a club is losing, all of a sudden you'll find that he's the main reason why you're losing, which is absurd for me.

You have to fix something when it first appears.

Joe Torre
Image
Years ago, you never concerned yourself with pitch counts. Now, with statistics telling you that between this number and that number bad things happen to this particular pitcher, you have to pay attention to it. The bullpen has become a huge part of what happens now.
Joe Torre
Image
The game itself is an autonomous game, but everybody is a part of it. No contribution is too small.
Joe Torre
Image
I have no problem with cheating. Whatever you can get away with.
Joe Torre
Image
I've seen that picture before. It was a two-seamer that didn't sink until it hit the upper deck somewhere.
Joe Torre
Image
I never concerned myself with other people's decisions.
Joe Torre
Image
Not that managing in the American League is easy, but this is certainly different. I'll have to have somebody poke me in the rear end when I have a pitcher that's going to hit.
Joe Torre
Image
A winner is somebody who goes out there every day and exhausts himself trying to get something accomplished.
Joe Torre
Image
My father wasn't the best role model to me.
Joe Torre
Image
I do love the feeling of a big win. But you don't have to have a World Series ring to be a winner. A winner is somebody who goes out there every day and exhausts himself trying to get something accomplished. Being able to get the most from their ability. That's what characterizes a winner.
