More quotes by Tommy Lasorda
Nothing succeeds like - failure.
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
My God, look at the words people use today. They use profanity like it's nothing. Christ almighty.
Tommy Lasorda
People say you can't go out and eat with your players. I say why not.
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
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 best possible thing in baseball is winning The World Series. The second best thing is losing The World Series.

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
Managing is like holding a dove in your hand. Squeeze too hard and you kill it not hard enough and it flies away.
Tommy Lasorda
Everything I have, I owe to baseball and the Dodgers.
Tommy Lasorda
If you love your job, you haven't worked a day in your life.
Tommy Lasorda
Grownups have to say 'please,' too.
Tommy Lasorda
About the only problem with success is that it does not teach you how to deal with failure.
Tommy Lasorda
When you say you're a padre, people ask when did you become a parent. When you say you're a cardinal, they tell you to work hard because the next step is pope. But when you say you're a Dodger, everybody knows you're in the Major Leagues.
Tommy Lasorda
I've got a portrait in the Smithsonian. Who ever thought that would happen?
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
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
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 he raced his pregnant wife he'd finish third.

I've been Catholic all my life, and there's one thing I've never understood. Why didn't the Corinthians write back?
