Bill CornellAbsolutely agree on Lefty O'Doul. The only hope is that the Veteran's Committee will make a smart choice when they're not busy elevating their buddies. Slim chance, but it could happen. Better outcome would be the permanent abolition of this committee, which has sullied the Hall over & over.
...Tommy LaSorda, who I absolutely agree is a HOFer
Adam... what??? Did I miss something? 3 WS appearances (1 win) and he's a HOFer? If he goes in, it could only be after Alston. This is a franchise that primarily comes up short. Repeatedly.
It is asinine to argue that anyone could manage the Yankees with the money Steinbrenner throws around and still win.
Then put in GM's Gene Michael and Brian Cashman, because Torre isn't anything special as a game manager. "Do I put Mariano in in the 8th? Okay!" That's his biggest challenge. Boy, I miss the Steve Kemp Yankees Era, when they burned cash & had nothing to show for it.
