How you play the game is for college ball. When you're playing for money, winning is the only thing that matters.
When you're in professional sports, winning is the only thing that matters.
Win any way as long as you can get away with it. Nice guys finish last.
If you don't win, you're going to be fired. If you do win, you've only put off the day you're going to be fired.
Ballplayers are a superstitious breed, nobody more than I, and while you are winning you'd murder anybody who tried to change your sweatshirt, let alone your uniform.
What are we out at the park for except to win?
