Joe Torre Heading To Cooperstown As A Yankee

Joe Torre is heading into the Hall of Fame as a member of the New York Yankees per an announcement from Cooperstown. Bobby Cox is also heading to the Hall obviously as an Atlanta Brave with Tom Glavine, Frank Thomas is going in as a White Sox, and Tony LaRussa and Greg Maddux are going in without a specific cap for some reason. Here is the statement from Joe Torre:

“I was lucky that my career took me only to great baseball towns. Every place where I played or managed is special to me because of the memories and the friendships that each afforded me. When I became the manager of the New York Yankees, it was an opportunity to realize my lifelong dream of winning the World Series. We were fortunate enough to succeed in our first season in 1996, and in the years that followed, we wrote some great new chapters in Yankee history. I am honored that I will wear the Yankee logo on my cap in Cooperstown to represent what our teams achieved together.”
