Gene Mauch Quotations

The worst thing is the day you realize you want to win more than the players do.

Losing streaks are funny. If you lose at the beginning, you got off to a bad start. If you lose in the middle of the season, you're in a slump. If you lose at the end, you're choking

Most one-run games are lost, not won.

I want everybody to feel he has a chance to get into a game when he comes to the ballpark. I play guys when I want to so they'll be ready when I have to. I don't consider myself a motivator of players. I think it's an insult to a ballplayer to have to be motivated.

He (Gaylord Perry) should be in the Hall of Fame with a tube of KY jelly attached to his plaque.

He (Don Drysdale) talks very well for a guy who's had two fingers in his mouth all his life.
