Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
Joe Torre grew up in a time when the World Series was no less a New York ritual than the St. Patrick’s Day Parade. The Series was an intramural competition, moving from Yankee Stadium to the Polo Grounds to Ebbets Field. If only Torre knew then what he knows now. He would manage the Braves to one playoff round. He would have a couple of shots as a player, just missing with the Cardinals in ’73 and ’74. It was always something. Until this year.
