“And if I have my choice between a pennant and a triple crown, I'll take the pennant every time.”
Carl Yastrzemski
“I don't believe a manager ever won a pennant. Casey Stengel won all those pennants with the Yankees. How many did he win with the Boston Braves and Mets?”
Sparky Anderson
“It's exciting to come in at this time of year and just be a part of (the pennant race). Basically, I'm just here to help the team in any way I can. I'm down here to do whatever I can.”
Craig Hansen
“No club that wins a pennant once is an outstanding club. One which bunches two pennants is a good club. But a team which can win three in a row really achieves greatness.”
John McGraw
“The only thing bad about winning the pennant is that you have to manage the All-Star Game the next year. I'd rather go fishing for three years.”
Whitey Herzog
“I don't think a manager should be judged by whether he wins the pennant, but by whether he gets the most out of the twenty-five men he's been given.”
Chuck Tanner
“Nobody ever won a pennant without a star shortstop.”
Leo Durocher
