SuperSteve Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 Let's get the 72 year old Zimmer as our coach. Hey, it worked for the Marlins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, it worked for the Marlins. we should never have an exCub manager as our manager or a coach ... just on principle alone, besides, it has never done us any good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxfest Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 Torre was told in August Zimmer would not be allowed to return, Zimmer is just putting on a little show for his benefit only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Hudler Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 I for one am sad to see Zim go. He is a great baseball man and has been very good for the game. I wish him well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Fainter Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 I remember when Zimmer got hurt via beaning, and he was in a coma for a couple of weeks or so. No batting helmets in those days. I think his beaning had a lot to do with the acceptance of them. Some old timers never would wear them, most notably Ted Williams. He said it was like giving in to the pitcher. But there is no doubt that in Zimmer's day and before, hitters were intimidated regularly by pitchers who threw high and inside. Hitters were bailing out all the time. Now, of course, it is a different story. Back in the 40's and 50's, and maybe even the 60's, pitchers had a huge advantage because of no helmets and horrible hitting backgrounds.
