More quotes by Joe Torre
Tommy (Lasorda) will eat anything, as long as you pay for it.
Joe Torre
Winning is a lot of fun. I remember having a meeting a couple years ago and telling the guys: 'You're not enjoying yourselves.' O'Neill said to me afterwards, 'Skip, it's not fun unless you win.'

Joe Torre
My father wasn't the best role model to me.
Joe Torre
That's what I'd like to think that my reputation is - being honest.
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 feel very fortunate to have broken in with the Milwaukee Braves organization.
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
Every time I pull somebody out of the bullpen, I believe he can do the job. I have to believe it. If he doesn't, hopefully he will do it the next time.
