Joe Torre: the Yankee Years



I've been reading Joe Torre's memoir about his years as a Yankee manager. It covers all the glory years of their four World Series titles - '96, '98,'99 and '00, as well as all the years after, especially that incredible 2001 Series right after 9.11. I recently bought the DVD, "Nine Innings from Ground Zero" by HBO, which covers that historic time. It's something every New Yorker should see. Listen, we really miss Joe here at The Farm. What a class act. Not to say our new Joe, Joey G, isn't class either. It's just there can only be one Joe manager, and he's no longer with us. What were they thinking when they let him get away to the Dodgers? --John Anderson
