He has a restaurant in Stamford.
Once when managing the Mets he was
thrown out of the game but reappeared
wearing a fake moustache.

I used to hear him as analyst on CBS radio
baseball coverage and thought he sounded
like a good guy, funny. Then he got to manage the Red Sox.
It was a disaster.

I used to go to his restaurant in Stamford for lunch. He was there a few times. He came over and introduced himself one time.
