Leo Durocher on Baseball-Reference.com

"By my rules, the manager is the boss, and you respect him and you play like hell for him.  If they weren't going by my rules anymore, I didn't have to go by theirs."

"I come to win."

"I don't care if the guy is yellow or black, or if he has stripes like a…zebra.  I'm the manager of this team and I say he plays."

—On Jackie Robinson

"I made a game effort to argue but two things were against me:  the umpires and the rules."

"Nice guys finish last."

“Win any way you can as long as you can get away with it.”

"You argue with the umpire because there is nothing else you can do about it."

“You don't save a pitcher for tomorrow.  Tomorrow it may rain.”
