FOLLOW UP: In the early '90's, there was a skinny, shy, nervous rookie pitcher who George Steinbrenner, wanted to trade, in one of his patanted "genius" deals. Buck Showalter insisted on NOT TRADING THIS KID......"THE KID CAN PITCH", he said.
BUCK SHOWALTER......A CLASS ACT.........He wasn't about to let George Steinbrenner (and his cronies who, along with Steinbrenner understand very little about baseball) push him around. Buck refused to accept another contract from the stuffed shirt Yankee front office morons, while they fired four of his coaches. It was Buck Showalter, along with Gene Michael who built the Yankee Dynasty which fell on JOE TORRE'S lap........ENOUGH SAID
