Association: Group Your Winners

New York Yankees manger Casey Stengel gave this advice to then rookie manager, Billy Martin.  Martin remembers, “Casey said there would be fifteen players on your team who will run through a wall for you, five who will hate you, and five who are undecided. When you making out your rooming list, always room your losers together. Never room a good guy with a looser. The losers who stay together will blame the manager for everything, but it won’t spread if you keep them isolated.”
