Joe Torre on Steinbrenner
Former Yankee manager Joe Torre, who was the longest serving manager under George Steinbrenner, released the following statement:
“I will always remember George Steinbrenner as a passionate man, a tough boss, a true visionary, great humanitarian, and a dear friend. I will be forever grateful that he trusted me with his Yankees for 12 years. My heart goes out to his entire family. He will be deeply missed in New York, Tampa and throughout the world of baseball. It’s only fitting that he went out as a world champ.”
