BASEBALL QUOTES
The Wisdom of Casey Stengel:
"I made up my mind, but I made it up both ways."
On hearing that a rival manager was trying to win the pennant with just three pitchers:
"Well, well, well, I heard it couldn't be done, but it don't always work."
On players who did not drink:
"It only helps them if they can play."
On being asked how the Mets were doing:
"Well, we've got this Johnny Lewis in the outfield. They hit a ball to him yesterday, and he turned left, then he turned right, then he went straight back and caught the ball. He made three good plays in one. And Greg Goossen, he's only twenty and with a good chance in ten years of being thirty."
On being asked about his future in the spring of 1965:
"How the hell should I know? Most of the people my age are dead. You could look it up."
To his excuse-prone Mets:
"You make your own luck. Some people have bad luck all their lives."
