This evening (12/14) at 8 pm ET, the MLB Network will be airing a special on the life and times of Billy Martin (aka Billy the Kid), one of the greatest managers and one of the most troubled persons of his era. It’s appropriately called “MLB Network Presents: Billy”. Bronx Pinstripes had the privilege of an early screening of the 90-minute documentary/biography and I can say the finished product is an excellent look at Martin’s complex life. It’s narrated by actor John Turturro, who played Martin in the 2007 ESPN production of “The Bronx is Burning”.
