More quotes by Tommy Lasorda
Nothing succeeds like - failure.
Tommy Lasorda
Think about each pitch like you think about women, then select one which is particularly appealing.
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.
Tommy Lasorda
Grownups have to say 'please,' too.
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.
Tommy Lasorda
If you love your job, you haven't worked a day in your life.
Tommy Lasorda
About the only problem with success is that it does not teach you how to deal with failure.
Tommy Lasorda
Guys ask me, don't I get burned out? How can you get burned out doing something you love? I ask you, have you ever got tired of kissing a pretty girl?
Tommy Lasorda
Everybody wants to win, but everybody doesn't win.
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 wasn't quite sure how a player got to the big leagues. As far as I knew, he was just there one day.
Tommy Lasorda
If he raced his pregnant wife he'd finish third.
Tommy Lasorda
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.
Tommy Lasorda
Everything I have, I owe to baseball and the Dodgers.
Tommy Lasorda
I've never used one word of profanity in front of my wife, or my daughter, or my granddaughter or anybody else's wife.
Tommy Lasorda
Everybody makes mistakes, that's why they put erasers on pencils
Tommy Lasorda
I am so happy and proud to learn of Hideo Nomo's election to the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame. He was quite a pitcher and competitor, but he is also a very special and caring person.
Tommy Lasorda
A second-guesser is one who doesn't know anything about the first guess, and he's one who needs 2 guesses to get one right.
Tommy Lasorda
The only Angels in Los Angeles are in Heaven, and they're looking down on the Dodgers.

Sports has kept me on the straight and narrow path.
