Jim Dolan better have a Knicks Joe Torre all lined up
We have seen this before. We have even seen it go well before: That was Nov. 1, 1995, the day Buck Showalter's contract expired as manager of the Yankees. He'd done more heavy lifting than just about any skipper in team history, dragging the Yankees from 91 losses to Game 5 of the ALDS in four years. He was the toast of Yankees fans everywhere. Then George Steinbrenner decided to part ways with him. The resulting outrage made what happened Tuesday — when James Dolan ordered Tom Thibodeau to walk the gangplank — feel like a chorus of hymns. Steinbrenner was so shaken, he tried to hire Showalter back. Buck wouldn't budge. Instead, he had to settle for the man he'd already hired.

Former Yankees/Mets manager to speak at Greater Binghamton Sports Hall of Fame induction ceremony
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – Mets and Yankees fans alike may recognize the 2025 keynote speaker at the Greater Binghamton Sports Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Buck Showalter, the longtime MLB manager for the Yankees (1992-1995), Mets (2022-2023), Diamondbacks (1998-2000), Rangers (2003-2006), and Orioles (2010-2018), was announced as the keynote speaker at this year's ceremony. Greater Binghamton Sports Hall of Fame announces 10th year Induction Class Showalter was a four-time Manager of the Year in MLB, once for the Yankees in 1994 and most recently for the Mets in 2022. He's managed over 3,300 Major League games in his 30+ year career at the helm of a franchise. With a career .509 winning percentage, Showalter is 19th in MLB history for managerial wins with 1,726. Showalter is most known for turning young or underachieving teams into contenders under his tenure. Showalter notably managed the Yankees to the playoffs in 1995 just before the dynastic run from 1996 to 2000 under Joe Torre's leadership, where the club won four World Series in five years. He was also the first manager in Arizona Diamondbacks history during the inaugural 1998 season, but he did not get to experience winning the first world series in franchise history in 2001. Showalter's longest stint for one franchise came with the Baltimore Orioles, where his clubs went to the playoffs three times (2012, 2014, 2016) in nine seasons. In Showalter's first season as manager of the New York Mets, his team won 101 games in 2022 before being eliminated from the Wild Card round by the San Diego Padres. The Hall of Fame ceremony is set for April 28 at the Double Tree Hotel in Binghamton. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
