I remember when George was like Uncle Stevie, in that he didn’t care what other teams offered any FA, if he wanted somebody, he went out and got him! Plain and simple. If he felt someone could help him win, he’d be wearing pinstripes come spring training. I know he made some mistakes, but that was then, and this is now. There are so many good players out there, or I should say were out there, you sometimes have to put your foot on the pedal and go out and get them before they get away to some other team. That part I miss about George. He had lots of money and didn’t mind spending it. He just needed better advise on who to spend it on.
