Even though Joe managed to pull the Yankees back into the battle and get them into the play-offs, it wasn’t enough, he’s gone. And this cartoon, originally published back in June has proved prescient. After 12 straight playoff appearances and four World Championships, the Torre era in NYC is over.
It’s bull****! Joe is the face of the New York Yankees…..N.Y. loves, as Jeter would say, “Mr. Torre”.
