More quotes by Tommy Lasorda
When you - when you become the manager of a major league team, particularly the Dodgers, to me, that's a privilege and an honor. No matter where you go or what you do, you represent that position that you have. And you represent that organization that gave you the opportunity to be doing what you're doing.

The saddest day of the year is the day baseball season ends.

There are parents out there screaming as if their kid is going to be in the big leagues someday. C'mon. I chew them out if I see that. Maybe they've got their own idea how to do things, but it's wrong. Just be with the kids. Let 'em make errors. Give them all a chance. It's not about winning. It's spirit, togetherness.

Grownups have to say 'please,' too.

If you love your job, you haven't worked a day in your life.

I've got a portrait in the Smithsonian. Who ever thought that would happen?
Tommy Lasorda
When I took the job as the manager of the Olympic team, I didn't take it because I was a Dodger. I did it because I was an American, and I wanted to bring that gold medal where it belongs in baseball, the United States. And that's exactly what our team did.
Tommy Lasorda
The worst team in baseball's history won only 55 games. The best team ever won 110 out of 160, so you're virtually guaranteed to win 1/3 of the time and lose 1/3 of the time. The difference is the 1/3 in the middle. You don't know what bucket the game you're playing falls into, so if you're smart, you'll fight like everything for all of them.
Tommy Lasorda
I don't like the pitch count! How are you gonna develop your arm? If you're a track man you say, Hey, you can't run too much. Or if you're a boxer you say, Hey, you can only box three rounds. It's not right!
Tommy Lasorda
No matter how good you are, you're going to lose one-third of your games. No matter how bad you are you're going to win one-third of your games. It's the other third that makes the difference.
