He says all the right things, like it's [Derek] Jeter's team. I want to correct him on that -- it's my team.
George Michael Steinbrenner III
New York Yankees
Owner
It is a wonderful combination -- the greatest team I ever had. I can't pick out individuals because they are all giants in baseball. It is by all odds the greatest team in the American League. I couldn't pass a higher compliment. I can afford to single out one, Kid Gleason, because he is a manager. He has kept pace with the team and that means something. It is the best bunch of fighters I ever saw. No game is lost until the last man is out. They can think for themselves which is still better. To say that I am proud of them is putting it mildly. They have been setting the pace most of the time and no other team deserves being in front more than they.

HOF 1947
Dave Cohn wanted to be part of the Pilots but he didn't want to put up any money. Dave Cohn was our biggest nemesis. We wouldn't let him be an officer of the club unless he bought stock. Everybody else paid for the stock. We had a rift right there. We did not do well because we didn't have the money we should have had or could have had or may have had.

He once staggered out of the team hotel and got in a fight with a cabbie. He lost. So he picked a fight with the next cabbie and lost. He fought three more of them, and they all beat the hell out of him. So I asked him what he was doing. He said, 'I'm trying to find one I can whip.'
