A player does not have to like a manager and he does not have to respect a manager. All he has to do is obey the rules.
Sparky Anderson
You can be whoever you want to be, you just have to want it bad enough.
Sparky Anderson
I cannot get rid of the hurt from losing, but after the last out of every loss, I must accept that there will be a tomorrow. In fact, it's more than there'll be a tomorrow, it's that I want there to be a tomorrow. That's the big difference, I want tomorrow to come.
Sparky Anderson
