Brown Bag it, Baby
The subject of wearing a mask has become a heated one this year, but Joe Torre disarmed plenty with a funny tweet on the topic. The former New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers manager shared a photo on Twitter Wednesday of himself with a mask …
Major League Baseball admitted that home plate umpire Chris Segal mistook Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner for a teammate in last Friday’s game — but he still deserved his ejection. Segal ejected Gardner during Friday’s game against …
Joe Torre had a lengthy Hall of Fame speech at Cooperstown on Sunday in which he recapped in detail his glory days managing the New York Yankees. He mentioned multiple players and staffers with whom he worked throughout his career, and he thanked his …
Joe Torre’s daughter is being considered a hero in New York Wednesday after making a catch to save a falling baby. Seriously. The New York Post reports that Cristina Torre was biking to work Wednesday morning when she saw a baby hanging from …
You can stick Joe Torre in the same category as Bud Selig and Sepp Blather when it comes to advancing the game using instant replay. And that’s not a good thing. Torre, who opposed the use of instant replay as a manager, feels the same way in …
The Dodgers beat the Diamondbacks 3-1 on Sunday to end their season. Joe Torre finished his last year as the team’s manager with an unimpressive 80-82 record and he gave his farewell to the fans following the disappointing year. The Dodgers …

It bothered me that Joe Torre got so much credit for the Dodgers making it to the playoffs, and even more after they swept the Cubs. The amounts of praise he received was nauseating. There was talk about what a calming influence he provided, how he …
I was going pretty crazy when I saw Joe Torre’s State Farm Commercial. It’s a humorous spot that features Torre surfing, doing yoga, walking with a lap dog in Beverly Hills, and pretty much everything else that’s considered trendy …
I knew that Joe Torre got a ton of press because, well, let’s face it — he was the manager of the Yankees during their superb run from ’96-’03. But I didn’t know he was much of a pitchman, unlike say, Greg Oden. Even …
When told over the weekend that the Patriots/Colts game received a ridiculous amount of media hype during the week, I was skeptical. I couldn’t pinpoint the reason why, but I didn’t feel like I got the full, Super-Bowl caliber dose of …
