On This Day
36 years ago today, Yankees owner George Steinbrenner hired manager Billy Martin — for the fifth time in 12 years, Jeff writes.
*
Managerial yo-yo: Steinbrenner made 20 managerial changes in his first 20 seasons as owner (1973-92), but there was no one he returned to more frequently than Martin, whose stints lasted as long as 471 games (1975-78) and as short as 68 (1988).
