Don Mattingly Quotations

We can make him go out there and take 100 ground balls but then he's not going to be able to play. It has to be the right kind of work.

I've wanted to manage a long time and I've been moving in that direction.

You never know who’s watching.

The players get no respect around here. They (the Yankees) give you money, that's it, not respect. We get constantly dogged and players from other teams love to see that. That's why nobody wants to play here.

I want to be on the field. It's a better place to talk to the guys. It's a relaxed atmosphere. You want to make sure you know what's going on, not just with the hitters.

Managers have people second-guessing them all the time.

Has he (Rickey Henderson) ever been here (Spring Training) the first day? You have to say Rickey's consistent. That's what you want in a ballplayer - consistency.

I like being close to the bats.

I don't know what to say other than you're really honored another team is looking at you.

Nobody can see into the future. Nobody knows what going to go on.
