Buck Showalter managed the New York Yankees from 1992–95, resigning short of their 1996 championship because he refused George Steinbrenner's demand to fire hitting coach Rick Down.
Buck has been a team-builder and a winner everywhere he's gone. His return to New York on a 3-year deal to manage the Mets, makes me a Mets fan. I've never been before, especially since moving from Queens to Long Island in 1983, Mets fans mocking my Yankee fandom when the Mets won the '86 championship. But Buck is such a "Play the Right Way" guy, he gives me warmer feelings for baseball as a whole. In a lockout, that says a lot.
