SilverBullet Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Marlins Twitter says he's class of 2023, wouldn't his induction be part of the class of 2024? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piazza31 Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Someone pull up the image of him smoking a heater outside Marlins Park in full Team USA uniform. One of my favorite stories was sometime between May 16 and May 18, 1998- Leyland went on an absolute tirade against the entire 1998 Marlins Team. Ripped them to shreds, called em shit, told em they should all be in the minors. Then turns to Mike Piazza calmly, and says "But not you Mike, we'll get you outta here soon enough". And MAN did he love to shit on Greg Zaun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 I've always found it amusing how nobody, not even the Rockies themselves, ever mention that Leyland managed them for a season. What a disaster that was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a disaster that was. Yeah he regretted joining there cause he said he is a pitchers manager and Coors is well not suited well for that. He quit two jobs in a row since he resigned from the Marlins after the 1998 season too. I can't fault him for it though. He signed a 5-year deal and then had the team dismantled.

He actually quit 3 jobs in a row. He quit the Pirates before coming to the Marlins because ownership was fucking cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 My wife has quit way more jobs in a row than Leyland and I don't think she's going in any Hall of Fame anytime soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now as soon as I read this post my very first reaction was to write “she’s in @pollythewog’s hall of fame” but after thinking about it, I realized that that might come across as disrespectful and I don’t want to be like that so I made the mature decision to not post that in response to this message. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
