"Maybe this YODA could have saved my job. . ."The Yankiverse, albeit a discouragingly small slice of it, has spoken. Former Yankee manager Joe Torre, current skipper of the Los Angeles Dodgers, has won the coveted IT IS HIGH Yankee Manager of the Decade award.
Leader of Yankee teams that won the 2000 World Series, three American League pennants and earned eight postseason appearances during the decade, Torre outpolled current Yankee manager and noted Good Samaritan Joe Girardi by a 52% to 36% margin. None of the Above, representing such third party candidates as Luis Sojo and Billy Crystal, finished well up the track with just 11% of the vote.
By adding Manager of the Decade to his previously-won Ex-Yankee of the Decade award, Torre takes the lead for most YODAs with two. Other YODA winners - Rudy Giuliani, Celebrity Fan; Brian Cashman - Executive; LoHud Yankees - Blog; El Duque - IIH Blogger.
Congratulations are in order. If Joe keeps wracking up these smaller heats, could he be in position to be named IT IS HIGH Yankee Man of the Decade?
