Tom Hines Quotations

I love for coach to call me up to pitch at the end of the game. It does not matter whether we are winning or losing, I am going to try my best to keep us on top.

Senior executives may find themselves facing decisions other pre-retirees don't need to consider.

They were going to match us up against three teams our size, but all the teams there were huge. They didn't want to play us and we didn't want to play them. That was the first time I've done that. It was very disappointing to us.
