The King Returns to the Yankees
Jim "The King" Leyritz returns to the Yankees in a broadcast capacity for home games and some road games like the Red Sox for ESPN 1050 AM. The Tank is psyched is always a very knowledgeable and quotable guy.
On his debut Thursday afternoon on the Michael Kaye show, Leyritz pulled no punches openly discussing John Amaechi, steroids, and of course the Yankees.
The King confirmed Tank's suspicions about Mariano's public demand for a contract because of the Bernie Williams situation. Regarding Mariano, "they are going to pay you if you are doing your job."
As Bernie was in great shape this season, Leyritz said the Yankees should have given Bernie a one year, one million dollar contract, and bring him to Spring Training. If it didn't work out, then he could bow out more gracefully than being offered a minor league deal.
Leyritz noted that Bernie could go to another teammate like former great players like Paul Molitor, Dwight Evans, and Eddie Murray who played with one team for most of their careers and then went elsewhere. I hope Yankees management comes to their senses and brings back Bernie.
