He just made my list of favorite Yankees. He's right there with DiMaggio, Mantle, Howard, Maris, Munson and Lidle.;)

One of only two men to manage the A's in KC and Oakland AND he also retired with seven WS rings.

RIP.

Check that. I meant EIGHT WS rings (I forgot the one he won as manager of the 1966 Orioles)

What is with all these baseball people dying all of a sudden? It seems like a lot have passed away in like the last month.

On second thought...it might have something to do with them all being in their 80's and 90's...:lol:
