More quotes by Joe Torre
I think that I have a sensitivity toward people, and that is a strength.
Joe Torre
We can learn from past failures and mistakes, but we shouldn't get stuck there. We can keep future goals in mind, but we shouldn't get stuck there, either. The only way to reach our potential is to focus on what we must do now - this moment, this day - to perform effectively and win.
Joe Torre
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.
Joe Torre
I've seen that picture before. It was a two-seamer that didn't sink until it hit the upper deck somewhere.
Joe Torre
A winner is somebody who goes out there every day and exhausts himself trying to get something accomplished.
Joe Torre
It's my job that if somebody wants to have a discussion about something, I'm certainly sensitive to that, and I'm willing to do it.
Joe Torre
Tommy (Lasorda) will eat anything, as long as you pay for it.
Joe Torre
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
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
I hated the Yankees and Dodgers and wound up managing both.
Joe Torre
I'm a very private person, and I don't want to share stuff with anyone.
Joe Torre
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.
Joe Torre
I can understand the fact you don't want the ball slipping out of a pitcher's hand because someone can get hurt.
Joe Torre
One winter, when I was 12, my older brother Frank (20) said to my father, 'We want you out of the house. We don't want anything other than the house we live in. We don't want anything from you. Just leave.' And he left.
Joe Torre
I believe anybody who is not afraid to fail is a winner.
Joe Torre
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
When I was coming home from school as a youngster, and I saw my dad's car in the driveway, I would go to a friend's house. I connected my dad being there with fear.
Joe Torre
Unless you have bad times, you can't appreciate the good times.
Joe Torre
That's what I'd like to think that my reputation is - being honest.
Joe Torre
When I was 16 years old, my brother Frank said, 'You'd better become a catcher, because you're too big and fat to do anything else.' Well, I took his advice. It was a quick way to get to the big leagues, and I've never regretted it.
