Baseball is a game of life. It's not perfect, but it feels like it is.
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.'

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.

I have no problem with cheating. Whatever you can get away with.

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.

You can't win the Kentucky Derby unless you're on a thoroughbred.
Joe Torre

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
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
Image
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.
