More quotes by Joe Torre
I don't have a great deal of stress job-wise in my life, and that feels good.
Joe Torre
One winter, when I was 12, my older brother Frank (20) said to my father, 'We want you out of the house. We don't want anything other than the house we live in. We don't want anything from you. Just leave.' And he left.

You can't win the Kentucky Derby unless you're on a thoroughbred.
Joe Torre
There will be a time when everyone on the team is going to contribute to winning a pennant.
Joe Torre
I have great confidence in Rick Caruso's unique qualifications and his ability to lead a successful bid for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Joe Torre
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
Baseball, while you're doing it, you think it's going to last forever.
Joe Torre
Pitchers make adjustments, and it's up to the hitters to readjust and sort of tweak what they do.
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

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
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
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
When I was coming home from school as a youngster, and I saw my dad's car in the driveway, I would go to a friend's house. I connected my dad being there with fear.
Joe Torre
I wish I could paint that picture. As a 20-year-old kid, that was a big thrill.
Joe Torre
You look at a guy who's being brave. He's afraid, or he wouldn't be brave. If he isn't afraid, he's stupid.
Joe Torre
In baseball, you're always moving people around.
Joe Torre
My 12 years in New York were very, very special, the fans were very special, and it's something I will take with me wherever I go and into retirement.
Joe Torre
It's my job that if somebody wants to have a discussion about something, I'm certainly sensitive to that, and I'm willing to do it.
Joe Torre
Baseball has changed dramatically since I began my tenure with the Yankees.
Joe Torre
We can learn from past failures and mistakes, but we shouldn't get stuck there. We can keep future goals in mind, but we shouldn't get stuck there, either. The only way to reach our potential is to focus on what we must do now - this moment, this day - to perform effectively and win.
