How about Bob Watson, Gene Michael and even Buck Showalter?

I love Torre. Love him. But if Showalter doesn't leave David Cone in the game with his arm hanging off against the Mariners in the '95 playoffs, he probably keeps his job, wins the World Series in '96, and Torre's working for ESPN for most of the past fifteen years.

Game of inches and all that.
