What do you say when you coach players with character, the character has a way of coaching the team itself?
Well, I don't know how much beer he drinks, but if he doesn't drink a lot, I'll hang with him because I know I'll get free beers the rest of my life.
And the other thing about him, and Jays fans won't be happy.
I did root for the Jays when they played Seattle and when they played the Dodgers, but I grew up, you know, Brooklyn guy, I grew up a Yankee fan.
Sure.
But I...
I look back to when the New York Yankees hired Clueless Joe, Joe Torre, fired by the Cardinals, fired by the Mets, fired by the Braves, his fourth time as a coach.
Joe Torre was the perfect guy, and Buck Showalter did a great job
kind of being that turnaround artist.
And you look at the career of Buck Showalter with the Orioles, the Yankees, Seattle.
I'm probably forgetting someplace.
He was your classic guy that would get you so far, but you needed something else to get you over the hump.
And Mike Brown is kind of a little bit like what a Tory is.
He's been there, done that.
He's been whacked a number of times.
And he just has that bedside manner that's ideal for this team.
To my point before, again, I think these guys are taking the bull by the horns.
And he's got that perfect temperament for those guys.
Whereas maybe Tibbs was a little too intense.
But on the other hand, you need a guy like that to get you someplace.
