WHO SAID IT??
1. "Above anything else, I hate to lose."
2. "Once you accept defeat, it becomes ease to lose. If defeat comes, face it and take it, but don’t accept it."
3. "Age is a question of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter."
4. "Just take the ball and throw it where you want to. Throw strikes. Home plate don’t move."
5. "I’ve always said I could manage Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, and Hirohito. That doesn’t mean I’d like them, but I’d manage them."
6. "I never thought home runs were all that exciting. I still think the triple is the most exciting thing in baseball. To me, a triple is like a guy taking the ball on his 1-yard line and running 99 yards for a touchdown."
7. "It ain't braggin' if you can back it up."
8. "There's one word that describes baseball -- 'You never know."
9. "There are surprisingly few real students of the game in baseball; partly because everybody, my eighty-three year old grandmother included, thinks they learned all there was to know about it at puberty. Baseball is very beguiling that way."
10. "No one can stop a home run. No one can understand what it really is, unless you have felt it in your own hands and body. As the ball makes its high, long arc beyond the playing field, the diamond and the stands suddenly belong to one man. In that brief, brief time, you are free of all demands and complications."
