Al Lopez quotes

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)
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. View quote
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. View quote
Al Lopez
Everybody says we hated the Yankees. We didn't hate the Yankees. We just hated the way they beat us. View quote
Al Lopez
I usually stick out my hand and hope he puts the ball in it. Except the one time I went out to take Early Wynn out. I stuck out my hand and he hit me right in the stomach with the ball. View quote
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. View quote
