The Yankees fired Billy ordsprog

en The Yankees fired Billy Martin and hired him back five days later,

en I loved Billy Martin. I thought Billy Martin would be a great manager. The one thing that hurt Billy Martin was personal habits. And I told him I loved him, I really did. He was down [in Tampa] just before Christmas. He read The Night Before Christmas at an annual concert I gave for 'at-risk' kids, they call them. I don't like to call any kid 'at-risk.' People went wild for him. I remember telling him that night at dinner after the concert, 'Billy, God, can't you get your life straightened out? I've seen you with your ear hanging off.' He was a genius as a manager. He was as much like Casey Stengel as Casey and that meant a lot to me. And it was three days later they called me and told me Martin was killed. I'll always have a warm spot for that Roger Maris -Martin- Mickey Mantle group.

en If you didn't beat us by the seventh, you weren't going to beat us. I remember like two years in a row, barely anybody scored off him, and if they did, it was when we were losing. Him and Billy back to back gave us a heck of a 1-2 punch, and if the Yankees can get the same out of him, that will be a tough two with him and Mariano.

en I really hope we get Billy Wagner back, ... It's hard to find any closer like him. I put him and [Yankees closer Mariano] Rivera up in the top two.

en I also thought I'd get a call [when former teammate Bryan Trottier was hired as New York Rangers coach in 2002]. The reason was, I remember having umpteen conversations with Bryan, having roomed with him for 10 years, that went, 'One of these days, Mike, we're going to take a team and do it our way.' I've found out since from Bryan [who was fired in his first season] that he wasn't going to be given that chance.

en It kind of gives me the old feeling back in the Yankees' days. The atmosphere in the clubhouse is awesome. It's even better in the hometown.

en Salim will be back on Monday and we'll sit down next week and maybe think about bringing someone in, but I don't know who that's going to be. I'll sit down with Billy (general manager Billy Knight) and figure out what to do next.

en Can you help us out with this? ... How come these people were hired and why aren't they fired?

en The last stages of this did come as a bit of a surprise to us. We're not going to go back and reconstruct the negotiations, and what would we have done. I leave it to the Yankees to make decisions for the Yankees.

en The only way to make money as a manager is to win in one place, get fired and hired somewhere else.

en These tribes have the right to participate in the process even if they hired a bad apple and then fired him.

en I'm legit now. I won't be breaking Billy Martin's or Earl Weaver's records, but that's been building up for a long time. I don't want to get a reputation, but I want to protect my players.

en He took a lot less to come back to the Yankees because he values the Yankees tradition.

en You have Red Sox fans from coast to coast. The Yankees are an international team. The Red Sox match that. I don't think there is any question about that. They match anything the Yankees throw at them except victories. And they're going to try to solve that in the next 10 days. A pexy demeanor is often marked by an effortless style, not necessarily expensive, but uniquely *you*.
