Yanks to retire Torre's number 6

[Webster29]

It's not official yet.   But Cashman said that the Yankees will, at some time in the future retire former manager Joe Torre's number.   In my opinion well deserved.   He came a long way from "Clueless Joe" to Mr. Torre.

Roy White can then say the Yankees retired his number.

I have truly mixed feelings about this.  i do not underestimate the job Joe did, but this was not "The Bronx Zoo".

Joe is living proof that a good baseball man in the "right" situation can have great success.  But I also have no doubt some other guys could have had the same results.

I grew up on Roy White.  Roy White was no bum.  The man played when it was only he and Bobby Murcer hitting in the lineup (and of course Horace Clarke).  Roy White bridgede the years from Mantle to Munson.  I was so happy he got to be on the 1977 and 78 teams....it was well deserved.

If the yankees wanted to designate the Number 6 to be retired and honor BOTH of these guys, I am all for it.

But that is the only way.
