I do not care if the guy is yellow or black, or if he has stripes like a f-----' zebra. I'm the manager of this team, and I say he plays. What's more, I say he can make us all rich. And if any of you cannot use the money, I will see that you are all traded.

Who Said It

Leo Durocher, Manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers
