No, we don't cheat. And even if we did, I'd never tell you.

When I was interviewed after I got hired to replace Walter Alston, a future Hall of Famer, I was asked: 'Don't you feel pressure on you?' I said: 'Want to know something? I'm worried about the guy who's going to have to replace me.'

I didn't even graduate from high school. I've never told anybody that before. I got my degree later, when I was in the army.

No, we don't cheat. And even if we did, I'd never tell you.

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.

They could never beat me in Springfield. I loved that old ballpark. If I could have pitched there all my career, I'd be a 300-game winner.

I've got a portrait in the Smithsonian. Who ever thought that would happen?

Everything I have, I owe to baseball and the Dodgers.

The only way I'd worry about the weather is if it snows on our side of the field and not theirs.

Always give an autograph when somebody asks you.

One time I was doing a speech to a group of kids, and just before I get there, I see this little kid crying. I found out they just lost a game, and he was the losing pitcher. I went over there, put my arm around him, and said, 'What are you crying for? When major league players lose, they don't cry.'

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.

I started in the lowest league in baseball, and I worked my way all the way up to Triple A and then to the big leagues. I never reached the level that I thought I would reach as a player. But that's the way it goes. So then I started from the bottom as a manager, and I worked my way up to managing the Dodgers for 20 years.

Baseball is played by all countries now, and softball, too.

Listen, if you start worrying about the people in the stands, before too long you're up in the stands with them.

I still remember the entire Boy Scout motto. I don't remember the serial number of my gun in the army. I don't remember the number of my locker in school. But I remember that Boy Scout code.

My goal is to live to be 100.

When I was 15 years old, I used to actually dream I was pitching in Yankee Stadium. Bill Dickey was my catcher.

You can have the best team in baseball, and if nobody goes through the turnstiles, you've got to shut the doors down.

I've never used one word of profanity in front of my wife, or my daughter, or my granddaughter... or anybody else's wife.

People say you can't go out and eat with your players. I say why not.

We're all put here for a reason. And one little movement changes your way of life.

Everywhere I go, I feel strange.

I bleed Dodger blue!

I've always called L.A. 'the world capital of sport.'

Sports has kept me on the straight and narrow path.

Sometimes you've just got to let an umpire know that you're not satisfied with his decision. That they've missed the play in your opinion. Not that it's going to do you any good, but you've got to let them know.

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.

I love doubleheaders. That way I get to keep my uniform on longer.

Sometimes, you get too hopped up, too excited, and it works against you.

You get an opportunity to do something for your country, you better get out and do it.
