The Yankees lost former player, manager, and general manager Ralph Houk on Wednesday at the age of 90.  He was a hero every sense of the word.  He earned a battlefield commission in WWII.  He returned home and was a leader even though he didn’t play much behind fellow catcher Yogi Berra.  Tommy Lasorda called him the best handler of men.  He was a fiery old school soldier in even sense of the word.
