But in fact, he's not really keeping that company. Not at all.
Yes, there haven't been a lot of Yankees managers with 600 or more wins. But take a look at that group:
Boone joined Joe McCarthy (1,149), Joe Torre (1,173), Casey Stengel (1,149), Miller Huggins (1,067), Ralph Houk (944) and Joe Girardi (910).
Call me irresponsible, but nobody on that list (comprised of the managers with the longest service, so brilliance is sometimes measured by how well you can print the names on the lineup card)--NOBODY--is in the 600s.
Nope.
Four guys over 1,000. Two guys over 900. And then a long, long, long drop to Boone at 600. With no rings. And terrible decision making.
Park the accolades, YES and press boys (plus Meredith). It ain't the big deal you make it out to be.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.
"LeMahieu is unlikely to return during the regular season, though he will continue baseball exercises in case he is needed during the playoffs."
Boone is not fit to lick the cleats of any on that list. Boone's wins are a false metric, like Stanton's meaningless homers.
Stanton's homers are not meaningless. They mean he and his family will never know hunger again.
So there's that.
Fuck CashBrain.
Yep, ditto that. Bull shit, false metrics. If Boone was competent, I swear, by God, he'd have well over 666 wins by now!
One point sums it all up. Buffoon Boone keeps putting Holmes in key situations.
