Joe Torre Quotes
We disconnected last year and that was probably a big problem. I called him two or three times from Hawaii (last month). That's on me, I have consciously done it and I will continue to do it. If he's going to have a problem it's not going to be because we haven't talked.

Sometimes, he gets a little too cerebral at the plate and starts thinking too much. When that happens, everything seems to slow down.
