Ford Frick

“I'd hate this to get out but I really like opera.”

“Take pride in your work at all times. Remember, respect for an umpire is created off the field as well as on.”

“Avoid sarcasm. Don't insist on the last word.”

“Review your work. You will find, if you are honest, that 90% of the trouble is traceable to loafing.”

“Keep all your personalities out of your work. Forget and forgive.”

“Keep your temper. A decision made in anger is never sound.”

“Never charge a player and, above all, no pointing your finger or yelling.”

“Hear only the things you should hear - be deaf to others.”

“Keep your eye on the ball.”
