Ford Frick quotes:

Baseball has always been slow to accept change. Only through dire pressure can any radical change be accomplished. The move of the Giants and Dodgers from New York to California brought that pressure in abundance.

Avoid sarcasm. Don't insist on the last word.

Keep all your personalities out of your work. Forget and forgive.

Review your work. You will find, if you are honest, that 90% of the trouble is traceable to loafing.

Keep your eye on the ball.

Take pride in your work at all times. Remember, respect for an umpire is created off the field as well as on.

Keep your temper. A decision made in anger is never sound.

Hear only the things you should hear - be deaf to others.

Baseball is probably the world's best documented sport.

Never charge a player and, above all, no pointing your finger or yelling.

I don't care if half the league strikes. Those who do will encounter quick retribution. All will be suspended, and I don't care if it wrecks the league for 10 years. This is the United States of America, and one citizen has as much right to play as another.

I'd hate this to get out but I really like opera.
