Nope, look at the history of the person as well as having friends who trained for him.

You gotta look at the whole package , if you don't that the good outweighed the bad you are wrong


i can understand individual cases my have an axe to grind , but the good outweighed the bad and as far as baseball the good outweighed the bad

Oh I believe that he was real S.O.B. to work for. He also took a beating for some shady dealings in the late 80's.
But if you are a fan of the organization, how can you not love him? The most important thing in the world to him was winning and he would do anything possible for his team to reach it's goal.

Come on Marty.............You know there is a difference between just being hard to work for and being a ****. As much as I respect everything the man has done for the Yanks, apparently he fell into that **** category.

most guys like it or not matt that get to the top and our ceo's have no mercy , they don't let up on employees

these guys and now ladies are not there to be your friend , they are there to make sure that the job gets done

once the impression in the office that the boss is soft , it's over , people aren't on edge , they relax and that relaxation flows right down the organization

it's just the way it is matt , some people just call someone an a-hole because they are hard to work for i know i have and i have been wrong for it

George was a borderline sociopath that made a lot of people rich (including himself) via many shrewd business moves and a few strokes of luck. Along the way he forever changed sports in a negative manner though a lot of those negatives probably would have come to pass regardless. While he certainly was obsessed with winning which was a positive for fans of his team, the insane manner in which he ruled the team probably prevented the Yankees from being even more successful during his tenure.

Weren't you in desperate need of a win in game 3 of the '96 World Series? Who turned that around for ya? A homegrown pitcher? No, sir. Was Mr. Cone. YOU DID NOT GROW THAT.

December 21, 1995: Signed as a Free Agent with the New York Yankees.

Was a PIG'S NEW TOY that came up tough for you in game 3. So, cut the bull. Blue Jays couldn't afford to sign him. So, you got him in July '95, and bought the whore in December. Fact is all ya rings since '77 been bought by that dead pig.

This is what you paid Cone in those so called homegrown '90's:


1995 $4,000,000
1996 $4,666,667
1997 $6,666,667
1998 $6,666,667
1999 $9,500,000
2000 $12,000,000

Well over 40 mil. Pig bought your rings for you. Period. All of 'em that were won during his ownership. Would of had 8 if Fernando hadn't found a way to beat Righetti in '81. See, that's a completely a homegrown pitcher throwing a complete game to stop your pig from getting what would have been his third ring from us in 5 years time. I'm fully aware of this pig's ways.
