European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - May 4, 1985, Darmstadt, Hesse                                May 1985 the stars and stripes Page 23 commentary Piniella is standing in Case in displaying his latest collection of Yankee managers like so Many Wax statues perched on revolving George Steinbrenner has outdone him in a the principal owner has had three Man agers lately one one and another waiting in the Yogi Berra has been Billy Martin has been inaugurated for his fourth and at his Lou Piniella is now a trainee As a future Yankee manager to use Steinbrenner vague time on the being the manager someday might mean in two years or two but for Pieniel it must be comforting to know that Steinbrenner thinks so highly of him that someday he might attain the stature of being everybody gets Piniella was saying at his coach lets not be naive enough to assume that anybody who gets hired As a manager Doest get not just with the but with any Ive always had a Good relation ship with but with who knows who going to be the next manager Martin apparently upon succeeding he said that if meaning wants me to break someone in and help like ill help Martin would not have mentioned that possibility if Steinbrenner had not mentioned it to his present and possibly future for a Yankee getting the air is always More Likely than getting the but for now at Piniella is the heir George has always liked the Way i Piniella Ive discussed managing with after whats the ultimate that a player can achieve after he stops playing to Pool his ideas into trying to put together a winning cohesive now Piniella has somehow survived the Stein Dave Anderson Lou Piniella Brenner regime since arriving from the Kansas City royals before the Start of the 1974 he has stayed longer than any other Yankee now in uniform coach or in the turmoil of other Piniella always spoke up candidly a trait that apparently has earned Stein Brenners during the 1977 when Stein Brenner was publicly questioning Martins grip on the Piniella and Thurman Munson visited the principal owners suite at a Milwaukee in so Many Piniella and Munson told him that if he were going to dismiss do it but if to leave the manager it was Good and the principal owner accepted it that but has not always remembered it since after 16 Piniella decided to Stop being a designated hitter and outfielder Midway through last season despite a career batting always a student of hitting who swung a Bat constantly and Hes now the Yankees batting Lous very Hes got a lot of Martin and by standing next to me in the ill help him see help him know How to react to Martin talked about How Piniella would be Able to question him after a game on Why he did this or did but when Piniella was asked if he had asked Berra about strategy during the last he if you know he you should have a certain idea As to Why a manager does what he but its always better to sometimes a manag ers actual reason is different from what it appears to that How Martin by studying Casey Stengels moves three decades ago and later asking the of per Fessor himself to explain sometimes you know what the other team is expecting you to so you do something Martin sometimes you dont bunt because you know the Guy up there cant people talk about the but that Book is up to Piniella has dismissed the idea of Man aging in the minor leagues As part of his trainee but when the time Martin going to the minors  be a bad i went Down to Denver to manage before i managed Minne you get a different Conception of things when youre actually the go to the minors and make your mistakes where not everybody is watching not managing in the minor leagues is often a mat ter of especially for a player who has had a celebrated career in the As Piniella As the late Elston Howard rather than go to the minors to Els Lon Howard kept waiting to be the first Black manager of a major league an offer that never Materia most club owners prefer their manager to have had dugout experience at handling game at handling virtually All of today successful major league managers Learned How to guide a team in the of today Pete Rose is one of the few who never managed in the but he was anointed As the reds manager primarily As a Hometown hero with More than not for his Back ground As a dugout so if Piniella is serious about being the Yan Kee manager he should reconsider his Resis Tance to Riding the buses in the its not As glamorous a life As it is travelling with the Yankees As a batting but once he is named the Yankee not even his friends would excuse him for having made a mistake that an experienced manager might not have especially his Friend George the new York times Beniquez bats Angels by jays 32 by United press International Pinch hitter Juan Beniquez
