What, do you think signing Yogi to a contract in 1965 was a pure baseball move, too? "Yes, this is our golden opportunity to sign a retired 40-year-old for that crucial third catcher slot. If we play this right, we might be able to get 8 at-bats out of him before he quits in agony." They were pulling the Yankees' chain all the way. Yes, clearly based on this thread that's what I thought. I knew this was going to be a ball-busting waste of time. Fool me twice, shame on me...
