None of my seniors can recall a Yankee manager other than Torre. Bobby Cox (16 years), Bruce Bochy (12), and Tony LaRussa (11) are the only managers who join Torre with 10 or more with the same team. <a href="http://jd2718.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">Jonathan</a> Peter,

TESTING
by Phyllis C. Murray
Testing, testing
Dear end-term assessing,
Reading and writing and arithmetic,
Watching the clock as it…
Tick, Tick, Ticks

Shrink wrapping
And lots of gridding,
State Monitors
Who are not kidding.

Wrap it all up
It is time to go,
For handscoring–
At the dear old…
D.O.

The difference is more important that the similarities. Steinbrenner pays his players very well, the best in the business, while Bloomberg pays us poorly, the worst in the metropolitan region.
