|---|---|---|
| 2011-04-05 13:00:00 (link to chat) | If you could start a Coaches Wing of the Hall of Fame, would you? And who would you induct? (BL from Bozeman, MT) | I have some trepidation about any Hall of Fame that would inevitably enshrine Don Zimmer. (Steven Goldman) |
| 2010-12-14 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Nothing like taking someone to their first game. The first time I did it, a Cubs-Mets game for a Swede in NY on business, the game featured multiple intentional walks & stolen bases, an escaped third strike, and a failed bases-loaded hit & run in extra innings (ordered by none other than Don Zimmer). But I digress . . . .
Do you think a left-handed pitcher would look at the left side of the Yankees' infield and think, "Two guys with the range of Chief Ironside, why would I go there?" or are their concerns much more of the food, clothing, shelter variety? (ekanenh from Capitol City) | More the latter, because as-is I don't think most pitchers, let alone most lefties, think in terms of "wow, poor me, I've got to pitch in front of Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez." (Christina Kahrl) |
| 2010-06-15 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Good question on technology...but I wonder if there would be any restrictions against having an iPad or a laptop in the dugout? It wouldn't make any sense considering anyone in the dugout could walk into the clubhouse to access the same equipment but it's a thought. (Joe V. from Pequannock, NJ) | There isn't any restriction that I know of short of equipping a coach with a sniper scope and having him shoot fly balls out of the air (aim up, Don Zimmer, UP!). I just wouldn't want to be the manager who has to tell Milton Bradley that he can't borrow it to listen to tunes between at-bats. (Steven Goldman) |
