The Yankees won 103 games this year with Aaron Boone as their manager.

The guy never managed a single game at ANY level in his life before taking this job.

Just think about that for a moment: A guy with no managerial experience anywhere gets hired by the YANKEES?

Times sure have changed.

Boone was an excellent catcher,,,and a lot of catchers know the game very well...

Many big league managers were catchers....FWIW

yup. managers today are yes men. the line ups, pitchers, relief pitchers to use that night against which hitters, everything comes down from the ivy leaguers who never played anything other than tennis and racket ball. I did not think boone would win. He did only because upstairs made all the decisions for him. watch him sometime. he is on a phone probably upstairs a LOT during a game.
