David Wells took potshots at Joe Torre last week, calling Torre a “coward” for benching him in the 1997 ALDS, and having pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre tell him the news. Only thing is, Wells started Game 3 of that series!
Even I, somebody who has no love lost for Saint Joe of the Bronx, thought this was a bit ridiculous, and unfair to Torre. So I wrote a piece about it for The Faster Times over it. It’s not just that Wells criticized Torre for something that never happened that irked me. It’s also that apparently nobody in the media took a look at a stats site to see if Wells’ story was true. And even Torre didn’t exactly defend himself well over Wells’ charges.
Anyhow, please check out my article on it!
