Tony Pena Quotations

I believe it's going to be tough for myself and for the country, ... Anybody in baseball that joins a new organization, you need to be familiar with every player. With a lot of new coaches, we need to be there full-time.

T.J. got called up from Richmond. I'm very happy for him.

He hasn't pitched the last two outings like he wanted to pitch, ... But that doesn't bother us. He has the capability. But I want to make sure I take my time, think about this kid. There's no reason for us to rush.

There's no question that you always want to manage, ... I managed once, but right now, what I want to do is to coach for the New York Yankees.

When an opportunity comes up, I just want to make a good impression like I did in spring training.

The training sessions we had last year were decisive for the team's improvement. We are going to try to make this into a tradition.

I'm a baseball man; you can't stay away from the game, ... It's a privilege and honor to be part of the staff with the New York Yankees. Working for Joe Torre and everybody in the Yankees organization should be an honor for anybody in baseball.

We have a lot of new coaches. We need to get familiar with every player.

They say you don't invite the wolf into the hen house. But Joe isn't afraid of the wolf or anything else. He knows who he is.

I'm very excited. It's a dream come true.
