Al Lopez quotes
-
“Do what you love to do and give it your very best. Whether it's business or baseball, or the theater, or any field. If you don't love what you're doing and you can't give it your best, get out of it. Life is too short. You'll be an old man before you know it.”
-- Al Lopez -
“Everybody says we hated the Yankees. We didn't hate the Yankees. We just hated the way they beat us.”
-- Al Lopez -
“I'm delighted. I don't know of anybody who had a statue built of them while they were living. It's a great feeling.”
-- Al Lopez -
“Managing can be more discouraging than playing, especially when you're losing because when you're a player, there are at least individual goals you can shoot for. When you're a manager all the worries of the team become your worries.”
-- Al Lopez -

“The manager is by himself. He can't mingle with his players. I enjoyed my players, but I could not socialize with them so I spent a lot of time alone in my hotel room. Those four walls kind of close in on you.”
-- Al Lopez -
“The youngsters coming up now just go through the motions necessary to make the play. They should bounce around a little, show some life and zip. It adds a little action and gives the fans something to look at rather than the monotonous routine, no matter how perfectly the play is made.”
-- Al Lopez
