More quotes by 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
Baseball is a game of life. It's not perfect, but it feels like it is.
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
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.
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
I don't have a great deal of stress job-wise in my life, and that feels good.

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.
Joe Torre
People are proud of their players.
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.
Joe Torre
I know in the heat of battle, it's hard not to get angry, especially in the 19th inning.
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 think that I have a sensitivity toward people, and that is a strength.
Joe Torre
It's not easy to just say you don't want to do something any more.
Joe Torre
You can't win the Kentucky Derby unless you're on a thoroughbred.
