The media, namely ESPN, loves to hype up the whole Yanks drama and what better way than to suggest ideas about how negative a classy guy like Torre is in his book. It will take a lot of mud slinging in his book for Torre's name to be tarnished. I agree that we should wait to read the book ourselves and then make a judgement.

I loved Torre for years but in the end it was time for both to move on. I'm not sure what Torre's exact words are but I know George Stienbrenner would never, ever trash him and would have one day held a Joe Torre Day and still may? Lets see what is realy in the book and the context it's written before making stupid statments based on mis information I have learned through the years that the first piece of information is usually wrong.

Those are two quotes, or topics, from the book. Hold on...let me pick up a book in my room. Yep, books are usually about 300 pages. Just because Torre has listed a couple negative things that made the press doesn't mean the whole thing is a hate-fest. And also, would it really change your perception if it wa?. Torre has never done anything that could rub somebody the wrong way. Who cares if he does it this one time? We don't really know how badly he was treated during the end of his time with the Yankees. Maybe it was entirely humiliating for the guy. If he needs to get some of this stuff off his chest, let him. Are we all really that surprised that teammates have cruel nicknames for each other, or that these athletes can be envious of other people? Athletes aren't action heroes...they're everyday dudes who happen to play a bit better with balls. Ha. They're just as messed up as anybody in the public eye. Ruined his legacy? The book will be found at your local Borders $5 bin come Christmas. Torre's plague in Cooperstown will be there for our grandchildren to see.
