Yankees fire longtime manager

Post by mookie »

The NY Yankees after a subpar start to the season have fired Mgr Billy Martin and promoted triple A Mgr Abe Beame to the hot seat. Ownership wanted to smooth over the hard feelings with ABE

His obituary in The Guardian

Abe Beame, who has died of complications due to open heart surgery aged 94, was one of the most ineffectual and derided mayors of New York city.
Mockingly described as the bean counter who couldn't count, he was unfortunate enough to inherit the mayoral mansion in 1973, just when New York was reeling from the financial problems left behind by his predecessor, the liberal Republican John Lindsay (Obituary, December 21 2000). So it fell to Beame to wrestle with the worst fiscal crisis in the city's history, when the bond markets refused it credit and the US president, Gerald Ford, was so unsympathetic that he inspired the headline in the New York Daily News: "Ford to city: Drop dead".

LMAO, I was stationed with a dude who use to quote Ford's reply to NYC when it requested cash..
Well Abe is 1 and 0 after a rotation and lineup shakeup, waived the malcontent the Yankees traded from KC last season after his arrest for solicitation
