New York Yankee Legends: Joe Torre is no ordinary Joe, turns 81

Today the New York Yankee legendary manager Joe Torre turns 81 years old. Joe is no ordinary Joe; he played the game with style, he managed the game with rare calmness and went to the top of the baseball world as the chief operating officer of MLB. To say the least, he has had quite a life, and today he celebrates his 81st birthday.

Joe got to the pinnacle of baseball by playing baseball for four teams as a catcher and first baseman. He got there by managing five teams and bringing the New York Yankees six American League pennants and four World Series wins.
