Leo Durocher
Leo Ernest Durocher (July 27, 1905 – October 7, 1991), nicknamed Leo the Lip, was an American professional baseball player and manager. He played in Major League Baseball as an infielder. Upon his retirement, he ranked fifth all-time among managers with 2,009 career victories, second only to John McGraw in National League history. Durocher still ranks tenth in career wins by a manager. A controversial and outspoken character, Durocher had a stormy career dogged by clashes with authority, umpires (his 95 career ejections as a manager trailed only McGraw when he retired, and still rank fourth on the all-time list), and the press.
Durocher was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1994.
Early life
Leo Durocher was born in West Springfield, Massachusetts on July 27, 1905, the youngest of four sons born to French Canadian parents. He was educated locally and became a prominent semi-professional athlete, with several employers competing to have him play on their company teams.
After being scouted by the New York Yankees, he broke into professional baseball with their Hartford team of the Eastern League in 1925. He was called up to the Yankees and played in two games. Durocher spent two more seasons in the minors, playing for Atlanta of the Southern Association in 1926 and St. Paul of the American Association in 1927.

As Jackie struggles against his nature to endure such abuse without complaint, he finds allies and hope where he least expects it.

Famous quotes by Leo Durocher:
"There are only five things you can do in baseball - run, throw, catch, hit and hit with power."
"I never did say that you can't be a nice guy and win. I said that if I was playing third base and my mother rounded third with the winning run, I'd trip her up."
"What are we out at the park for, except to win?"
"Show me a good loser and I'll show you an idiot."
"Win any way as long as you can get away with it. Nice guys finish last."
"If you don't win, you're going to be fired. If you do win, you've only put off the day you're going to be fired."
"I never questioned the integrity of an umpire. Their eyesight, yes."
"You argue with the umpire because there is nothing else you can do about it."
"I made a game effort to argue but two things were against me: the umpires and the rules."
"Give me some scratching, diving, hungry ballplayers who come to kill you."
"I believe in rules. Sure I do. If there weren't any rules, how could you break them?"
Leo Durocher
