Ultimately, if you can say that I'm a bad owner and we're winning championships, I can live with that.

My first year in baseball, there were only one or two reporters. My second year, I got to the Triple-A playoffs, there were four or five. When I came up in 1984, I never saw so many people. ↗

Life would be better if the Leafs would make the playoffs. Life would be perfect if they’d win the Stanley Cup. ↗
