Life is just too short.<br /><br /> Torre being back for old timers day is a good thing. The first team and now the only team in baseball to have an old timers day celebrating the teams past glory.<br /> Torre is a big part of the past.<br /><br /> Celebrate the good times, forget the bad and enjoy the day. I hope they invite former Yankees player and coach Bobby Cox too.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01660812138133474254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624254435992330014.post-63883929971121581942011-03-22T16:36:43.324-04:002011-03-22T16:36:43.324-04:00My friend Lenny just interviewed Bouton:

But the four rings only go so far. He stopped caring about anything but polishing his image, then he trashed the franchise when leaving in a huff, then he trashed the franchise some more in his book. Why he is included in Old Timers' Day, when he has yet to apologize of any of his unclassy behavior, is beyond me.Subway Squawkershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04156896665605326549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624254435992330014.post-20660108499357008482011-03-22T15:57:12.464-04:002011-03-22T15:57:12.464-04:00You can tell Lisa's right due to all the Penna...You can tell Lisa's right due to all the Pennants Zim won with his other clubs. The 1978 Red Sox. The 1989 Cubs. Wait a minute...<br /><br />Come to think of it, both the Rockies and the Rays didn't win Pennants until after Zim was gone.<br /><br />To hear Lisa tell it, Joe Torre wasn't hired as Yankee manager until October 18, 2003 -- after Aaron Boone but before Jeff Bleeping Weaver. Somebody else must have managed those 6 Pennants and 4 World Championships.<br /><br />Don Zimmer had as much to do with those titles as Darrell Royal had to do with the National Championship that Mack Brown won with Texas.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05442426292394718108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624254435992330014.post-34426846182452370912011-03-22T12:59:14.113-04:002011-03-22T12:59:14.113-04:00Keep telling it like it is Lisa!!

The main reason the Yankees won four world championships was because of bench coaches, especially Zim.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06908134516696350468noreply@blogger.com
