Birth of a Dynasty by Joel Sherman
Discussing his book about the 1996 Yankee team with Mike & Chris today, Joel reminds us
that Torre managed differently then. He was not obliged to leave a player in a game because he
had a big name or a big contract & he didn't. Of course, that team didn't have those kinds of players or contracts. The situation is quite different today. I've never had confidence in Randy
Johnson since he's been on the Yankees. He had that one game last year against Boston that ended up a 1-0 win for him, BUT HE NEVER HAD TO FACE ORTIZ IN THAT GAME. Mariano Rivera who got the save in that game did face Ortiz. If nothing else, you have to realize Johnson has great physical
problems. Yankee fans have paid his salary, & have paid into the personal
bank accounts of owners of other teams. At this point, I plan never to buy another baseball ticket.
