September 11, 200322 yr Hey i havent heard about him for a long time... Torborg still pulling for his old team By Mike Berardino Staff Writer Posted September 11 2003 When the Marlins visit Philadelphia next week for a huge series with their wild-card rivals, they could get an inspirational visit from an old friend. Former Marlins manager Jeff Torborg, who hasn't seen his former team or coaching staff since the day after his May 10 dismissal, plans to make the 90-minute drive to Veterans Stadium from his home near the Jersey Shore. Torborg isn't sure which day he'll attend or even if he'll stay for the game, but he would like to renew ties with a group he managed for 200 games before getting fired. "I'll sneak over and say hi to everybody, then get the heck out of there," Torborg said from his Manahawkin, N.J., home. "I just want to say hello to the guys. Maybe I'll watch a game from the press box." When the Marlins visited Arlington, Texas, in mid-June, a number of them stopped by the home of former pitching coach Brad Arnsberg, fired at the same time as Torborg. Just as several players and coaches stay in touch with Arnsberg, the same holds true for Torborg. Link
