When you take a job, you don't just accept the pats on the back. You have to accept the kicks in the pants.
Quote by -Joe Torre
I won't be managing the Mets. I am closing the door on managing the Mets and probably everybody else.
Quote by -Joe Torre
To wind up in Cooperstown is surreal for me. To go into the Hall of Fame is one thing. When you think of all the other Yankees that are in here, it's pretty special. This is just a shrine. To visit it, much less be inducted, it's still sort of unbelievable to me.
Quote by -Joe Torre
Whatever sport you're looking at, it's usually the team that makes the least mistakes that has the most success.
Quote by -Joe Torre
I've enjoyed my time in the American League, the fans of Southern California and other friendships.
Quote by -Joe Torre
Scott Boras, I've known for a long time. We were both in the Cardinals organization. I'm a lot older than Scott. He's a very tough man, very tough agent.
Quote by -Joe Torre
When you've been in the game as long as I have, you know the managers you've played for, the good ones and the bad ones. Even the good ones get fired.
Quote by -Joe Torre
It's nice to be in first place. But just because you're not on a winner doesn't mean you're a loser.
Quote by -Joe Torre
It's my job that if somebody wants to have a discussion about something, I'm certainly sensitive to that, and I'm willing to do it.
Quote by -Joe Torre
My wife accuses me - and she's probably right - that I'm sometimes oversensitive.
Quote by -Joe Torre
I don't think there's any player that's more talented than Alex Rodriguez. He cares very deeply about doing well. Baseball is his life. He puts a lot of pressure on himself.
Quote by -Joe Torre
I have great confidence in Rick Caruso's unique qualifications and his ability to lead a successful bid for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Quote by -Joe Torre
It's something you hope doesn't happen. When you sign on to do a job, you hope you'll be able to get it done. But that's not always in your control.
Quote by -Joe Torre
Kids are much more intuitive these days. Not that I'm crazy about what's on TV, but they know so much these days.
Quote by -Joe Torre
We've got to decide, how much replay do we want? Because if you start doing it from the first inning to the ninth inning, you may have to time the game with a calendar.
Quote by -Joe Torre
Every place where I played or managed is special to me because of the memories and the friendships that each afforded me.
Quote by -Joe Torre
When you're in a slump, you do something different, just to try it. I remember one time I was in a slump, and I borrowed one of Henry Aaron's bats and hit two homers. I used my own bats the next night. I just needed a change.
Quote by -Joe Torre
That's the sign of a good relationship, when you can pick up a phone and it doesn't matter when the last time you spoke was.
Quote by -Joe Torre
I can understand the fact you don't want the ball slipping out of a pitcher's hand because someone can get hurt.
Quote by -Joe Torre
I met Tiger Woods, and I looked in his eyes - and I saw Derek Jeter. They don't have to tell people they're good. They just prove it by the way they love the competition.
Quote by -Joe Torre
I feel very fortunate to have broken in with the Milwaukee Braves organization.
Quote by -Joe Torre
At 7-1, your pitching has obviously controlled that other team. At 16-10, I'm not sure when it's safe.
Quote by -Joe Torre
The fact that somebody is reducing your salary is just telling me they're not satisfied with what you're doing.
