The George Hamilton of Baseball Coaching.

"Joe Torre is the luckiest man in America."

I happen to agree. One day between the 1995 and 1996 baseball seasons, a mediocre Yankee farmhand named Mariano Rivera suddenly threw the ball 95 mph consistently. Lucky day for Joe Torre.


"Look at what he's missing:

• Mediocrity in the Bronx, where his former team has struggled ..."


Exact same record as the Dodgers.


I'll bet LA is sunny.

It offers a contrast to New York in that regard.

Go with that angle, Roy S. Hack:

"Now, look at what Torre has – a tan."


Sweet.

I told you they'd love comatose Joe out here, and vice versa. The only people that are accountable are the Lakers and USC football.
