More quotes by 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
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
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.

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

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

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

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

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.

I played for 18 years, but the only thing that meant anything to me was the World Series.
Joe Torre
Image
Winning is a lot of fun. I remember having a meeting a couple years ago and telling the guys: 'You're not enjoying yourselves.' O'Neill said to me afterwards, 'Skip, it's not fun unless you win.'
Joe Torre
Image
I believe anybody who is not afraid to fail is a winner.
Joe Torre
Image
I have no problem with cheating. Whatever you can get away with.

Image
I've seen that picture before. It was a two-seamer that didn't sink until it hit the upper deck somewhere.
Joe Torre
Image
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
I wish I could paint that picture. As a 20-year-old kid, that was a big thrill.
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
I think that winning creates chemistry, as opposed to other way around. I've been on a lot of friendly teams that couldn't win, trust me.

Baseball has changed dramatically since I began my tenure with the Yankees.

I'm a very private person, and I don't want to share stuff with anyone.
