A tweet I wrote about Billy Martin.
He was going to manage the @Yankees in 1990 before he was killed, setting in motion the events that led to Joe Torre pic.twitter.com/K3jmUblXtZ

It got an interesting response.
@sullybaseball Joe didn’t manage them until 6 years after that WTF you talking about?
— applehead (@apple_head2000) February 13, 2016
I admit my phrasing was not that clear. But trust me, the chain reaction of events that went from Billy Martin’s death in 1989 to the hiring of Joe Torre is clear, if not direct.
It is a “connecting baseball to the meaning of the universe” episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Forget The DH, Forget The Pitcher Hitting, Lets Hit With 8! Also Teams Should Hit Best Players At The Top
Disagree with me all you want, but I think the MLB would be better served to have just 8 hitters hit in one rotation of the batting order. It is time to eliminate the DH and the pitcher both from hitting. Give the fans more of what they want, the most feared hitters in baseball potentially batting 70 – 80 times more a year. I also agree with Sully Baseball, that your best hitters should be afforded the most opportunities to contribute to your offense. This means hitting in the highest slot in the order they can based on OBP, Slugging and overall Run production.

(The 8 hitters in lineup concept is my idea solely, I am agreeing with Sully on his lineup relevance for his approach for 1 and 2 hitters) – CB
I was listening to an archived show I did with James Acevedo, on our inaugural “2 And A Hook Podcast” show last March.
We were talking about the Designated Hitter position weakening by the year, and the Pitcher not doing any justice at the plate either.
In the show, I haphazardly referred to “they should just hit with 8 hitters.”
I forgot about the whole thing soon after saying it last year, but now I haven’t stopped thinking about for the last hour of today.
Baseball writers often will tell you it is best to write what is fresh on your mind. Read the rest of this entry
Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – November 29, 2013
While reading through the book Billy Ball by Billy Martin (and Phil Pepe), I stumbled across an interesting passage.
Evidently Billy Martin and I had similar ideas of how to set up a batting order… one where common sense triumphs of conventional wisdom.
I recorded today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast next to a swimming pool.

From January 29th – 31st, the Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA) Historical Overview Committee met in Cooperstown to screen potential candidates for the 2014 Expansion Era ballot (Veterans Committee). The 12-member ballot will be released in the fall and is scheduled to be voted on at the baseball winter meetings in December by a 16-member electorate.
The Expansion Era is comprised of players, executives and managers who made their greatest career contributions between 1973 – present. Eligible players must be retired for at least 21 years and have played at least 10 major league seasons. Managers and Umpires are eligible five years after retirement, with 10 years of service, or six months from the date of election after retirement, if they are 65 years or older.
All candidates receiving at least 12 of 16 votes (75 percent of the 16 ballots) will gain election into the National Baseball Hall of Fame for a July 2014 ceremonial induction.
Under the new rules, the Veterans Committee ballots run on a three-year rotation beginning in 2010 with the Expansion Era (1973 – present), Golden Era (1947 – 1972) and Pre-Integration Era (1871 – 1946).
Here’s a look at the selected nominees from 2010. Long retired players; Dave Concepcion, Steve Garvey, Vida Blue, Ron Guidry, Tommy John, Al Oliver, Rusty Staub and Ted Simmons. Manager Billy Martin and executives George Steinbrenner, Pat Gillick and Marvin Miller.
