I am deeply saddened and shocked at the loss of umpire Wally Bell.

A winner is somebody who goes out there every day and exhausts himself trying to get something accomplished.

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.

Image
You're always in the storm's eye, so to speak, when you're with the Yankees.
Joe Torre
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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.
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.
