I managed the dodgers for 20 years. it's hard to believe that there are only four guys in the history of baseball who managed the same team for 20 years or more. one was owner of the team, connie mack. another was part owner of the team, john mcgraw. then there was my predecessor, walter alston, and me. it's amazing. in the 20 years i managed the dodgers, 210 managers were fired.

Some years ago a top ford official was showing the late walter reuther through the very automates plant in cleveland, ohio and he said to him jokingly, "walter, you'll have a hard time collecting union dues from these machines." and walter said, "you are going to have more trouble trying to sell automobiles to them." both of them let it stop there. there was a logical answer to that ... the owners of the machines could buy automobiles and if you increase the number of owners you increase the number of consumers.

Praise the name of baseball. the word will set captives free. the word will open the eyes of the blind. the word will raise the dead. have you the word of baseball living inside you? has the word of baseball become part of you? do you live it, play it, digest it, forever? let an old man tell you to make the word of baseball your life. walk into the world and speak of baseball. let the word flow through you like water, so that it may quicken the thirst of your fellow man.

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.”

This is a god-given right of any man.anytime you have a man who is getting lynched, and what are his people supposed to do? sit around and forgive the lyncher or wait on the united states government to go in and get the lyncher, like the united states government did in the case of, of charles mack parker, and the fbi found who were the guilty lynchers, and right to this day, the fbi, the highest law enforcement body in the land, has yet to bring the lynchers of mack parker to justice?

At every crossway on the path that leads to the future, each progressive spirit is opposed by a thousand men appointed to guard the past. let us have no fear that the fair towers of former days be sufficiently defended. the least that the most timid among us can do is not to add to the immense dead weight that nature drags along.

You've got a man-beast, and a ho-beast.
