Casey Stengel
(1890-1975) born on Jul 30

US "baseball player, manager". "The Old Professor began playing baseball in 1912; managed for 25 years, including the N.Y. Yankees; won 10 pennets and 7 World Series."

Sure I played, did you think I was born at the age of 70 sitting in a dugout trying to manage guys like you?"

There comes a time in every man's life and I've had many of them.

They've shown me ways to lose I never knew existed.

"Without losers, where would the winners be?"

The secret of successful managing is to keep the five guys who hate you away from the four guys who haven't made up their minds.
