Billy Martin Quotations

I really love the togetherness in baseball. That's a real true love.

There's nothing greater in the world than when somebody on the team does something good, and everybody gathers around to pat him on the back.

Everything looks nicer when you win. The girls are prettier. The cigars taste better. The trees are greener.

I may not have been the best Yankee to put on the pinstripes, but I am the proudest.

Most people miss the great part mental outlook plays in this game.

What I miss when I'm away is the pride in baseball. Especially the pride of being on a team that wins.

Yes, but you know what, I jumped right in to party with J.D.. I'm about to show him my nipple.

Getting information from Congressman Condit is like pulling teeth. It comes out only when he's forced to admit these facts. The family does not believe that anything short of a polygraph ... would give them any confidence.

He was spit on; he was beaten; he was screamed and hollered at.

He lied. He misrepresented his relationship. He told her no.

I think he has as good a chance as anyone to win the NCAA Championship. He's already beaten most of the top players and I don't think he's showing any signs of slowing down at this point.

When it's real on a team, it's a deep love-pride.

We do not have evidence to accuse Congressman Gary Condit of Chandra's disappearance and, now, her death, but we do have reason to believe he knew a lot more about Chandra.

We have tried to prevent certain evidence, not because it is harmful, but because it is not admissible.

We would hope that Marcia Lewis will be able to provide you a statement in the very near future, but in anticipation do not expect any statement prior to Tuesday.

We will once again try as vigorous and zealous a case as we can to prove to yet another jury that this was an accident.

Bill Campbell has tried to do the right thing with his taxes. He's a horrible record-keeper. Criminal tax laws do not punish you for making a mistake.

Bill Campbell has been waiting for this moment to tell his side of the story. He may have done some things he's not proud of, but it was not bribery and it was not illegal.

Say, ... do you know Mickey and Rocky?

As a result of yesterday's proceedings, which were very overwhelming and emotionally draining, she was unable to proceed again today.

Although the discovery of Chandra's body closes one chapter and brings some resolution to this ordeal, it does not ... solve the mystery of what happened to Chandra. We will continue, along with the police, our investigation to find the person or persons who did this to Chandra.

You don't want 'em to like you. If you're any good, it'll only make you play harder.

It's like we are slaves, like we are in jail.

It's been 10 years since we've had somebody ranked that high. He certainly deserves it and has been playing great tennis all year.

They hope to make you so mad at Bill Campbell that you will lose sight of justice.

Once again, it shows to us that the congressman is releasing information on his terms when he wants to release that information. We're asking him to be fully cooperate and not cooperate on his terms.

If you think he needs to steal money, look at the choices he had.

If there was one issue that ran through this, it was the issue of plea deals and immunity.

If he was having an intimate relationship with her at the end of April, beginning of May, he of all people would know her state of mind. We know that she was upbeat from telephone messages she left and we would like the congressman to tell us not just when and where he met with her, but what they talked about and what was her mood.

I am about more the avant-garde than the others.

All I know is, I pass people on the street these days, and they don't know whether to say hello or to say goodbye.
