EasternOHBillsFan Posted December 4, 2023 Posted December 4, 2023 Jim Leyland is going into the Baseball Hall of Fame!!! Such amazing news. His World Series championship win in 1997 was bittersweet... he was a special manager. It's been a really rough 2023 in sports, but finally something really positive. So happy for him! https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/39038020/long-manager-jim-leyland-selected-baseball-hall-fame 1 Quote
SinceThe70s Posted December 4, 2023 Posted December 4, 2023 Good for him. A class act and a guy I'd have been more than happy to manage my team. 1 Quote

When he left the bottom seemed to fall out and it's never been the same. His buddy Gene Lamont just was NOT it. I'm one of those oddball Buffalo sports/Pirates fans and not Yankees or Indians. 1 Quote
