Jim Beattie Quotes on Baseball (2 Quotes)

I called the team last week, ... I had the opportunity to sit at home for a year and collect a paycheck and do something, but at the same time, I want to get out and work. I've been in baseball for a long time, and I want to go out and work and help the club win some ballgames.

When it became known that I was going to come up here and interview, a lot of friends from the Boston area and New England who grew up here and went to school here called me, ... About half of them said, 'Good luck and go up there and do a good job.' The others said, 'What the heck are you thinking about' So you have to keep that in perspective. You can only go out there and do the best job you can. And in this case, for me, I have a World Series ring as a player I would love to have another one. This is one of the best opportunities in baseball to get there.
