紐約的前後任市長都跳出來支持Torre
October 9, 2007 -- Pinstripe politicos Mayor Bloomberg and Rudy Giuliani
today made a last-ditch one-two pitch to Yankees boss George Steinbrenner to
keep on old pal Joe Torre as manager.
"If I owned the teams, that's what I would do," Bloomberg told reporters, as
Steinbrenner appeared poised to ax Torre after the Yankees' botched playoff
bid Monday.
"You know, sometimes the ball just doesn't go out of the park, sometimes the
pitch doesn't go over the plate. And you can have great people and great
coaching and it's just not meant to be," he said.
Giuliani hailed Torre as the best manager in modern Yankee history.
Asked by interviewer Chris Matthews if Torre should stay on, the former mayor
and now presidential candidate replied, "God willing."
The pair's loyalty to Torre comes as no surprise.
Giuliani and Torre became best buds during Rudy's eight years as mayor, and
Bloomberg and the manager have followed suit, shoring up their friendship by
supporting each other's charities.
Torre and his wife co-chaired an event to benefit Bloomberg's Mayor's Fund at
the start of the summer, and Hizzoner returned the favor by hitting the links
with Torre during his Safe at Home Foundation golf tournament in August.
For the record, the mayor also has thrown his support behind Mets manager
Willie Randolph, whose team blew it big-time and didn't even make it to the
playoffs. "I would love to see" him back, Bloomberg said.
