Chuck Tanner
“If we're going to win the pennant, we've got to start thinking we're not as good as we think we are.”
Casey Stengel
“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 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
“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
“I think we had the team to do this (win the pennant),”
Paul Konerko
“You win pennants in the off season when you build your teams with trades and free agents.”
Earl Weaver
