Joe Torre's brother, Frank, rips Yankees
A lot of Yankees fans have gotten nostalgic over Joe Torre, even after his team went down for a second time to the Phillies Friday night.
But Joe's brother Frank, you know, the former Milwaukee Brave portrayed by Robert Loggia in "Curveballs Along the Way," is just plan furious at his brother's former employers.
"I wonder what the Yankees are thinking now while they're fishing or doing whatever," Torre said. "I have friends there. I will always root for Derek Jeter. But what they did to my brother was not right. Really, it was pathetic what they did. There was no class."
Here's the full story by Bob Nightengale of USA Today.
More from Frank, in case you're too tired or lazy to click on the link and leave The Final Score for even a moment.
"I hear (Yankees co-chairman) Hank Steinbrenner say where would Joe Torre be without the Yankees," Frank Torre said. "Well, let me tell you, Hank Steinbrenner was fortunate he was born in the Steinbrenner family. His inheritance is a whole lot bigger now than it would have been if not for my brother. I think he gained a lot more money than my brother after all of those World Series."

Enjoy your retirement and root for the dodgers. Your lovely and oh so talented brother could not get the Yankees past the first round in the last few years. He didnt manage; he watched. While I dont agree alot with Hank, I think that Joe needed a change in scenery. And, according to your lovely brother, even he needed a change because it was "uncomfortable". Hell yeh it was uncomfortable!! He reverted back to his ways of St. Louis and the mutts. So long clueless joe and you, my friend, should follow him and cheer for him and forget about the Yankees.
