I don't believe a manager ever won a pennant. Casey Stengel won all those pennants with the Yankees. How many did he win with the Boston Braves and Mets?

Why wouldn't I root for the Mets? ... I want them to win the same way I want the Yankees to win. I want them to play each other [in the World Series], just like the old days when we played the Dodgers every year. Anyone who lives around here should want that.

Casey knew his baseball. He only made it look like he was fooling around. He knew every move that was ever invented and some that we haven't even caught on to yet.

Just give me 25 guys on the last year of their contracts; I'll win a pennant every year.

I always liked Casey Stengel as a manager because he seemed to have a grasp of so many things.

We should have won the pennant that year. It was the best club I was ever on.
