Re: Outrageous Sports Quotes

Yogi Berra had them by the hundreds, but one of my favorites came from Casey Stengel when he was managing the Yankees: "the secret of managing is to keep the ones who hate you separated from the ones who are still undecided". <br /> Yogi had so many, it would take one of his books to list them all. One was "I didn't say all the things I said".
