I'd like to see Joe Torre get hired as manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates. He is a class act with a total horse's rear end for a boss.

Amen. Even Yankee haters can admire a man of pure class like Joe Torre.

I’m a lifelong Red Sox fan and live right in the city of Boston. Always a lot of sports talk all year long around here. I have never heard a Sox fan say anything unkind about Torre. The man is well respected and many Sox fans love the guy.
Torre knows and respects the game of baseball like few players or managers out there. If the Yankees get rid of him he’ll be hired pretty darned fast by someone.

I remember seeing him walking down Newbury street one day while the Yanks were in town and most everyone walking by was saying “ Hi Joe! “. He had a big smile on his face, waved to people greeting him and said hello to anyone who acknowledged him.
