from left to right: Joe Torre, Scott Proctor
via Philly Daily News:
Apparently Torre was unfairly made to feel uncomfortable as manager just because he made decisions that lost World Series bids.
You can take solace in the fact that he still considered the baseball part of his job "fun." As far as the "knowing his players' names" and "managing effectively", we're left to assuming that was un-fun and, as such, ignored.
Also, he complains that the clubhouse atmosphere became awkward after the '04 season. Wasn't Torre's whole thing that he was not a brilliant tactician but an effective clubhouse manager with the ability to check all the Yankees' huge egos? Why did we keep this guy around so long? Also, if he was so uncomfortable, why did he stick around for three more seasons?!
