Somebody has to manage them. Lee Mazilli leaves the Yanks to manage the Orioles.

From the Baseball Library: Brooklyn native Mazzilli was heavily promoted by the star-hungry Mets in the late 1970s, not only as a prospect but also as a sex symbol.

I heard Grady Little's interview went horribly. Glad they went with Mazilli.

Little's interview prolly just seemed horrible because they had to explain any big words they used to him.

Mazilli's dad was a piano tuner, perhaps he passed on some useful lessons.

Little's interview prolly just seemed horrible because they had to explain any big words they used to him. what i heard was grady kept referring to himself in the third person, ala Rickey Henderson, and still defended his decision to keep Pedro in.
