Stress is something that is sort of out of your control. You get stressed out over looking at the finish line. Stress is something that is an outside thing. Stress is an anxiety.
Quote by -Joe Torre
I was always a little hesitant to accuse people of loading a bat to hit a ball farther. I was always very hesitant to approach people because I never had any evidence that I had firsthand knowledge of.
Quote by -Joe Torre
When I was a player and hit into a double play, I felt as if I was letting everyone down.
Quote by -Joe Torre
When I became the manager of the New York Yankees, it was an opportunity to realize my lifelong dream of winning the World Series. We were fortunate enough to succeed in our first season in 1996, and in the years that followed, we wrote some great new chapters in Yankee history.
Quote by -Joe Torre
First of all, you want umpires to call what they see. In the case of fair or foul, the smartest thing is to call the ball fair. Because if it's called foul and ruled fair, where do we put the runners?
Quote by -Joe Torre
I know in the heat of battle, it's hard not to get angry, especially in the 19th inning.
Quote by -Joe Torre
I played for 18 years, but the only thing that meant anything to me was the World Series.
Quote by -Joe Torre
When I was coming home from school as a youngster, and I saw my dad's car in the driveway, I would go to a friend's house. I connected my dad being there with fear.
Quote by -Joe Torre
It's nice to have writers write nice things about you and guys on radio and TV say nice things about you, but the guy who's in the locker next to you is the one you play the game for.
Quote by -Joe Torre
After you manage the Yankees for 12 years, it's really tough to envision going somewhere else. But then the Dodgers called.
Quote by -Joe Torre
I think there's more of opportunity to win games in the National League than the American League because there are more decisions to make.
Quote by -Joe Torre
As a player, to me the Dodgers were the Yankees of the National League because... you either loved them or you hated them.
Quote by -Joe Torre
I think that winning creates chemistry, as opposed to other way around. I've been on a lot of friendly teams that couldn't win, trust me.
Quote by -Joe Torre
By rule, the decision to reverse a call by use of instant replay is at the sole discretion of the crew chief.
Quote by -Joe Torre
You know, Mike Milken, the money that he has raised for cancer research has been remarkable.
Quote by -Joe Torre
One thing you have to realize is that cancer is not something you necessarily cure, but you want to just take care of yourself and extend your life as long as you can.
Quote by -Joe Torre
I felt there was a lot of love in my house. And my mom was, you know, the basis of all that.
Quote by -Joe Torre
Every time I pull somebody out of the bullpen, I believe he can do the job. I have to believe it. If he doesn't, hopefully he will do it the next time.
Quote by -Joe Torre
Pitchers make adjustments, and it's up to the hitters to readjust and sort of tweak what they do.
Quote by -Joe Torre
Respect is the word I want. You have to earn it. You give, and you get it in return, that's how I see it.
Quote by -Joe Torre
Even though I was never a Yankee fan until I put on the uniform, when you think about the deep history of this organization, you always knew what the Yankees represented.
Quote by -Joe Torre
My 12 years in New York were very, very special, the fans were very special, and it's something I will take with me wherever I go and into retirement.
Quote by -Joe Torre
When I was 16 years old, my brother Frank said, 'You'd better become a catcher, because you're too big and fat to do anything else.' Well, I took his advice. It was a quick way to get to the big leagues, and I've never regretted it.
Quote by -Joe Torre
You could have the bases loaded, and you bring up the best pinch-hitter in the world to pinch hit, he hits into a double play, and then all of a sudden: 'How could you do that?'
Quote by -Joe Torre
My relationship with George Steinbrenner was great. He was the boss, and I accepted that.
Quote by -Joe Torre
You get to the big leagues, and you think, 'Can I do this stuff?' Then you take the first pitch down the middle for Strike 1, and you think, 'I could have hit that.'
Quote by -Joe Torre
If a club is winning, you never pay attention to a guy who's 0-for-10. If a club is losing, all of a sudden you'll find that he's the main reason why you're losing, which is absurd for me.
Quote by -Joe Torre
'Million Dollar Arm' touches on many of the Safe At Home Foundation's core values, such as children, teamwork and family.
Quote by -Joe Torre
As a supporter of the Prostate Cancer Foundation and their Home Run Challenge program, I am extremely grateful for the valuable partnerships and relationships built with Major League Baseball and our affiliates.
Quote by -Joe Torre
Major league baseball is about the history of the game. Baseball history is so important. It's so much more than money.
Quote by -Joe Torre
In regards to steroids, I think we're all to blame, all of baseball. I never realized how far-reaching this problem has been.
