Connie Mack, on his preference for a team that gets off to hot start, but ultimately finishes fourth:

"A team like that will draw well enough during the first part of the season to show a profit for the year, and you don't have to give the players raises when they don't win."

Can you imagine McGraw, McCarthy, Durocher, et al, making that statement? Hardly a philosophy reflecting the competitive spirit one would want in a manager.
