86dreamer Old-Timey Member Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 Verry sorry to hear that - may he rest in peace. A great pitcher and coach. Nice article by Madden. I did not know the story of the Steinbrenner apology and Mel's insistence on the additional 40k signing bonus to become the Yankees pitching coach.
