Leyland is a good baseball man who knows the game as well as anyone.
But nowadays you need to be a psychiatrist to deal with the head cases in sports.
Went to my first game at tiger stadium about 50 years ago.
Norm Cash, Rockey Colavito, Al Kaline, Jake Woods.
Thought i was in heaven when we went.
My hero was Mickey Mantle but I always hated the cursed Yanks.

Leyland took a rookie team of Tigers to the world series in his first year including a playoff blowout of the Yanks. In the end they 4 game playoff hurt the Tigers because they got a 12 day break while the Cards played right up to the series.
