More quotes by Joe Torre
Respect is the word I want. You have to earn it. You give, and you get it in return, that's how I see it.
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
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
I know in the heat of battle, it's hard not to get angry, especially in the 19th inning.
Joe Torre
Pitchers make adjustments, and it's up to the hitters to readjust and sort of tweak what they do.
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
Even though I was never a Yankee fan until I put on the uniform, when you think about the deep history of this organization, you always knew what the Yankees represented.
Joe Torre
I have great confidence in Rick Caruso's unique qualifications and his ability to lead a successful bid for the Los Angeles Dodgers.

You look at a guy who's being brave. He's afraid, or he wouldn't be brave. If he isn't afraid, he's stupid.
Joe Torre
Golf is the only game I know where you call a foul on yourself.
Joe Torre
Stress is something that is sort of out of your control. You get stressed out over looking at the finish line. Stress is something that is an outside thing. Stress is an anxiety.
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
You know, Mike Milken, the money that he has raised for cancer research has been remarkable.
Joe Torre
People are proud of their players.
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
I'm a very private person, and I don't want to share stuff with anyone.
Joe Torre
Jerry Coleman was the kind of player who made me proud to wear the pinstripes.
Joe Torre
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.
Joe Torre
You get to the big leagues, and you think, 'Can I do this stuff?' Then you take the first pitch down the middle for Strike 1, and you think, 'I could have hit that.'
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.
