“It's hard to win a pennant, but it's harder to lose one.”
Chuck Tanner
“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 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.”
“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
“Son, we'd like to keep you around this season but we're going to try and win a pennant.”
Casey Stengel
“You win pennants in the off season when you build your teams with trades and free agents.”
Earl Weaver
