I am not a New York Yankees lover and consequently, by association, had little love for Joe Torre. I really had no other basis for feeling as I did. Today, one day after he turned down the Yankees’ offer for next year’s contract, he spent over an hour at a press conference with New York media. My opinion of him has completely changed. His handling of the media in this interview showed him to be a first class person, and a man of integrity and also at times, humor.
If the interview is ever seen again on TV, I strongly recommend you make an effort to see it, or else be sure to read reports on his interview.
