How Jim Bowden exited the Yankees in 1989--Davidoff

(Newsday, Ken Davidoff): "Jim Bowden's inevitably ugly departure as the Nationals' general manager brought to mind Bowden's one season as a Yankees official in 1989.

• The Yankees fired him -- he served as the assistant to the senior vice president of baseball operations -- and to ensure that he didn't take any important documents with him,

• George Steinbrenner assigned a young, tough employee to accompany him out of Yankee Stadium.

The 22-year-old's name was Brian Cashman."..."Manny Ramirez was 'freaking out' over Free Agency," 3/7/09
