Greenwashing Joe Torre--NY reporters denied access at Yogi museum

(Kernan, NY Post): "No matter how Torre tries to spin this, and he is the all-time best manager

• spin-master,

• he did break the clubhouse code.

• That's the honest call.

• I've talked to many players, front-office executives and scouts inside and outside the Yankee organization, and all agreed that a trust factor has been lost with Torre. Torre said he was just trying to give readers an inside look.

On his terms, of course.

• There was no inside look last night at a signing at the Yogi Berra Museum.

• Reporters were not allowed past the lobby and anywhere near Torre the entire night,

• except the Los Angeles Times,

• which was granted full access to Torre."...

All that needs to be said about this book is no one should buy it. That rewards bad behavior. Enough has come out verbatim, some of it insulting and actionable. Torre shouldn't be further enriched for what he has done. (One isn't likely to hear that advice from sports writers who also write books). There is a difference between right and wrong and this was wrong. (sm)
