“That guy in a twenty-five cent bleacher seat is as much entitled to know a call as the guy in the boxes. He can see my arm signal even if he can’t hear my voice.”

I told the umpires to walk back at least thirty-five feet from home plate. That reduced the arguements.

Your job is to umpire for the ball and not the player.

The most cowardly thing in the world is blaming mistakes upon the umpires. Too many managers strut around on the field trying to manage the umpires instead of their teams.

To me, baseball is not a game, but a religion.

Fix your eye on the ball from the moment the pitcher holds it in his glove. Follow it as he throws to the plate and stay with it until the play is completed. Action takes place only where the ball goes.

There are one-hundred fifty-four games in a season and you can find one-hundred fifty-four reasons why your team should have won every one of them.

In my heart, I never called one wrong.

An angry player can’t argue with the back of an umpire who is walking away.

You may not like what you find. In that case you are entitled to try to change it. But do not deceive yourself as to what you do find to be the facts of the situation.

People are entitled to the presumption of innocence.

Every man is entitled therefore, to give any explanation of the symbols and a system of the doctrine that he can render palatable.

I do believe that I deserve what I have. I don’t think I’m entitled to it. That’s a big difference.

Regardless of who you are, I believe that everybody in this country is entitled to justice.

Disabled children are equally entitled to an exciting and brilliant future.
