I was thinking back this afternoon as I watched the Yankees win there second game in what seems like a month. I was thinking about that team in 96, thinking about the lineup, the rotation and the pen. I don't remember it containing any superstars, do you? I mean this was the New York Yankees, yet with Mattingly having retired, Henderson playing elsewhere, and Winfield long gone, who was the "big name, big time" bat in the lineup? Tartabull? Nope, Barfield? please.

Later, as a Yankees bench coach in the early 1990s, he helped revitalize Wade Boggs' career, and shaped the future of a spindly shorstop who'd committed 54 errors in the minors: Derek Jeter.
