I Bleed Dodger Blue And

I Started In The Lowest League In Baseball, And I Worked My Way All The Way Up To Triple A And Then To The Big Leagues. I Never Reached The Level That I Thought I Would Reach As A Player. But That's The Way It Goes. So Then I Started From The Bottom As A Manager, And I Worked My Way Up To Managing The Dodgers For 20 Years.

I Didn't Even Graduate From High School. I've Never Told Anybody That Before. I Got My Degree Later, When I Was In The Army.

When We Win, I'm So Happy I Eat A Lot. When We Lose, I'm So Depressed, I Eat A Lot. When We're Rained Out, I'm So Disappointed I Eat A Lot.

It Is A Great Honor To Be Inducted Into The Pacific Coast League Hall Of Fame. When You Honor Me With This Distinction, You Really Honor The Players Who Put Me There. All Of The Honors I Receive Became A Reality Only Through The Contributions Of My Players. In Addition To Myself, You Also Honor My Family And The Dodger Organization. I Accept This Recognition With Pride And Gratitude.

When You're Not Playing Up To Your Capability, You Gotta Try Everything, To Motivate, To Get Them Going. All Of Them Have To Be On The Same End Of The Rope To Pull Together. It's Playing For The Name On The Front Of The Shirt, Not The Back. Individualism Gets You Trophies And Plaques. Play For The Front, That Wins Championships. I Try To Remind Them Of That.
