Son, we'd like to keep you around this season but we're going to try and win a pennant.

Casey Stengel

The Yankees won the pennant, we went on to the World Series, 41 years after that in the city of Toronto. The great city of Toronto, and all the provinces in Canada, everybody reached out and they were excited because we won the first World Series ever, across the border.
Dave Winfield

The team that wins two-thirds of its one run games usually wins the pennant.

Chuck Tanner

We should have won the pennant that year. It was the best club I was ever on.

Tom Hicks

When you're in the middle of a pennant race, you can't go up there thinking about home runs.
