Also, I had one hell of a better win loss record as A football and Baseball coach/manager than Joe T had!

The word was, he copied the line-up from day to day. Even had to be told not to use BP pitcher Procter almost every day or so. In fact, Cash had to trade him because Joe T kept using him all too many days in a row...it was the end of both careers as Joe T was fired and Procter was never the same.<br />Fell asleep in the dugout many times and was sleeping and didn't even know if he had gone to the mound once or twice in the "Nats" Game with the Indians...remember that? He was a big time loser as a manager for years. The Team made him and one other play also. He had a click with about five players and made up innuendos and half truths about A-Rod...but, the team won anyhow. As has been said before; "Talent is Better than luck!"<br />Not a big fan of his at all, look what happened to him when he went west...looser again!Ken Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07134936968221887101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-49094820285188608482017-03-31T10:41:15.537-04:002017-03-31T10:41:15.537-04:00Joe Torre gets way too much credit for the success...Joe Torre gets way too much credit for the success the Yankees had under his time as their manager. <br /><br />Hall of Famers (current and future): Derek Jeter, Wade Boggs, Roger Clemens (controversial, but belongs), Mariano Rivera, Randy Johnson, Alex Rodriguez<br />Multi-Time All-Stars/MVP Candidates/Cy Young Candidates: Bernie Williams, Paul O'Neill, Andy Pettitte, David Wells, Tino Martinez, Jorge Posada, Jimmy Key, Alfonso Soriano, Mike Mussina, Jason Giambi, Hideki Matsui, Robinson Cano (possible future HOFer), Gary Sheffield<br /><br />The point is he had some tremendous teams built for him to manage. Would they have won as much with another manager? Yeah... possibly. And that's the point.Bryan Van Dusenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02868262676393608086noreply@blogger.com
