2 guys, both with reasons to be upset(both want to be Yankees) have called out Joe Torre....in his 5 decades(or more in baseball), how many african american players has Joe Torre played with or coached? More than a 1000? I dont know how many, but Ill use 1000 for the purpose of the equation....so .2% of Joe Torre's black teamates and players think hes a racist? If you were at a parade with 1000 people and 2 of them said it was raining, but you saw no rain and no one was wet, would you believe them?
Darryl Strawberry & credible aren't exactly s<span style="font-size: 7.5pt; font-family: Verdana">ynonymous just like Sheff and class. </span></p> <span style="font-size: 7.5pt; font-family: Verdana">Sheff makes his buddy Barry Bonds look downright personable & diplomatic</span></p>
