Anyone who loved baseball would have loved to play for Billy!
Best Manager of his era. RIP Billy Martin
I agree. He was always way ahead of the other managers in a game.
Always #1 Hasn’t been a manager in the past 50 years that could touch him!
Should be in Cooperstown
Adam Wesley 100%.
Should have been there years ago already.
Craig O Yes I’m not a big Boone fan, nor was I a Girardi fan. Yanks win 1 World Series since 2000. Martin wins at least 5 of those years. He may get fired and rehired 5 times too but he wins 5 more WS. Oh, and I laugh that Torre is in the HOF and Martin isn’t. Torre couldn’t carry Martin’s jock. Torre was great but not Billy. Martin won everywhere, Torre won with HOFers
tell it to mike norris.
Walt Williams He wasn’t perfect but he was the best.
1970s -Great era of managers .Martin,
Weaver, Anderson , Herzog , Zimmer, Tanner ,Houk , Berra, , Lasorda Torre ……….
Great baseball men. There were certainly some of the best arguments with umpires as well.
SAtill the best manager I ever saw
Should be in hall of fame.
George Michael's Sports Machine, on Sunday nights, the precursor to ESPN. Looked forward to it, every weekend!
MLB teams have managers. College and High Schools have head coaches.
That is correct
He once said that he was not the most talented Yankee, but he was the proudest.
He was a Yankee through and through any new how to win but most of all he knew what it was to be a New York Yankee God bless if you are a New York Yankee you are lucky enough
that he was. and a great manager too
he played moneymaking, mistake - free baseball. that is the yankee way.(ps i'm from boston).
Walt Williams No argument here!
I always respected Billy because he was badass !!! Billy didn't take crap from no one especially Reggie Jackson. Billy, I heard just about kicked his ass.
He couldn't even kick Ed Whitson's ass. Whitson cracked his ribs when Billy mouthed off to him. He could have kicked a world class athletes ass like Jackson? Reggie came out of that 1977 season looking like a legend. Billy had to eat crow.
@@anthonybrancale4855 To be fair, that was during the 1985 season when Ed Whitson broke Billy's ribs, so we're looking at an 8-year gap....
That being said, Ed Whitson was nobody to mess with, either...
@@michaelbanaszak7775 Whitson was a bad dude.
Jackson probably wins that one but I’m taking Billy to go the distance. Reggie was a beast but Martin was a street fighter. I got spoiled as a little kid with the 70’s Yankees because they haven’t made a team like the 77/78 Yanks since!
Anthony Brancale Whitson was a tough guy. An ol Country boy.
Got his autograph in 1969. Head coach of the Twins
P.S. He was fired the following day. ;-)
Thanks for sharing! Can you please change Martin's title to Manager, not Head Coach? Thanks!
What is a baseball head coach?
George Micheal sports machine. I remember the show well. Earl Weaver was the best manager I ever saw.
Why is this man not in the hall of fame? Bull crap if you ask me
True Billy Martin should be in the Hall Of Fame. Every where he went he turned the franchise around.
@@anguslean4058 He was a great manager, but anyone that played for him would tell you playing for him took a psychological toll on the team. He was always high strung, never relaxed, often drunk, sometimes he would take that out on the players, especially the ones he didn’t like. No manager in baseball history had a bigger doghouse than Billy. He never lasted long wherever he managed. That’s because he was unmanageable. It was his way or highway.
Daniel Zanier I know a few guys that played for him and none of them said that. They all loved him. They new he was the 10th man out there and other managers feared him just as much as sports writers and umpires. Yankees don’t play in 3 WS without Billy in the 70’s. And 78, that’s still Billy’s team in my book.
@@JoeCracco In 76 and 77 he was very good, and had a big impact on the team. He always had a positive impact, but in later years he also had a negative impact., You need to read all the Yankee books I've read. You'd better understand what I'm trying to say. To give you some insight into Billy's way of doing things, he once said that of the 25 players on the team he wanted 15 to like him, 5 to not like him, and 5 who weren't certain. He always had a whipping boy. In 78 there's simply no way the Yanks make that comeback if Billy had still been manager. The aggressiveness and winning pedigree they had come from their time with Billy/ But the tranquility Bob Lemon bought to them after Billy's firing was priceless.
the first Terry Collins of NY
Sonny Bono????
head coach?
The Hall of Fame, is not just about, nor is it called...The Hall of Stats...BILLY MARTIN IS A FAMOUS BASEBALL PLAYER & MANAGER... His far reaching FAME...IS OBVIOUS !
LOL-Head coach? Not in professional baseball.
Poor Don Mattingly.
4 divisions , not 4 pennants; but i agree
won the world series in 77, took yanks to series in 76. won with every club he managed and Texas and oakland were bad teams when he took over
Hof
He’s a manager but ok
This was Billy. I only got to Tony.
Not coach. Manager.
There is no head coach in baseball!
What Billy says and what he did made him a hypocrite.
What punks today's mgrs look like by comparison.
