My favorite Casey Stengal quote is, "There comes a time in every man's life, and I've had plenty of them." If I could go back in time and have a beer with anyone it would be him.

This might just be my favorite baseball KZread video I’ve seen. I love what baseball teaches us about life and it’s part of what made me fall in love with the game so this video is great

My favorite baseball quote is probably yogis classic “it gets late early”

Thank you so much for this! I'm going to save it! I have a hard time thinking of any human endeavor that has produced more good, solid, basic wisdom than baseball.

Just turned 26th in July obviously I have no memory of satchel Paige, but he once said don't look behind you someone may be gaining! That's the way I live!

Connie Mack's Code of Conduct. I will always play the game to the best of my ability. I will always play to win, but if I lose, I will not look for an excuse to detract from my opponent's victory. I will never take an unfair advantage in order to win. I will always abide by the rules of the game, on the diamond as well as in my daily life. I will always conduct myself as a true sportsman, on and off the playing field. I will always strive for the good of the entire team rather than for my own glory. I will never gloat in victory or pity myself in defeat. I will do my utmost to keep myself clean, physically, mentally, and morally. I will always judge a teammate or an opponent as an individual, and never on the basis of race or religion.

Wisdom...great stuff

After Casey Stengel was fired as head coach for being thought of as too old, he said “I’ll never make the mistake of being 70 again”

@@thebaseballprofessor Baseball is a bunch of men in pajamas, sitting out in the hot sun all summer. It's basically a sweat lodge where wise words like these come from haha

Most managers are not on their employees side.

OK, this is great, and I wish I had something quotable (and printable) from Billy Martin....! 😎✌🏼
