More quotes by Joe Torre

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.

Chicago is a pretty good town.
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 believe anybody who is not afraid to fail is a winner.
Joe Torre
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

My father wasn't the best role model to me.
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
If I intimidate people, that's not my intention.
