The game itself is an autonomous game, but everybody is a part of it. No contribution is too small.
Joe Torre
Image
I am deeply saddened and shocked at the loss of umpire Wally Bell.
Joe Torre
Image
When we lost I couldn't sleep at night. When we win I can't sleep at night. But when you win, you wake up feeling better
Joe Torre
Image
I hated the Yankees and Dodgers and wound up managing both.

You're always in the storm's eye, so to speak, when you're with the Yankees.
Joe Torre
Image
You can't win the Kentucky Derby unless you're on a thoroughbred.
Joe Torre
Image
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.

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.

When I was a teenager and my brother Frank was in the World Series in '57 and '58 against the Yankees, Braves winning in '57 and the Yankees in '58, little did I know the next time these two teams would meet in the World Series, I would be managing the Yankees.

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.'

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.

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
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.

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.

After you manage the Yankees for 12 years, it's really tough to envision going somewhere else. But then the Dodgers called.

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.

My father wasn't the best role model to me.

I played for 18 years, but the only thing that meant anything to me was the World Series.

It's not easy to just say you don't want to do something any more.
