For helping to end Apartheid Mandela is a hero in the eyes of most of the world and certainly in S. Africa.<br/>The Yankees will continue to make the playoffs no matter who is managing them, even a terrorist like Nelson could lose in the first round to the Indians.

He didn't perform to expectations, so they offered him a deal that STILL made him the highest paid manager in baseball, along with incentives to make more than he makes now if he did what he was supposed to do all along.<br/><br/>By all rights, they should have fired him when they were near the bottom of the AL East mid-season. But they stuck with him, and then made an offer after his team got smacked down by a lesser Indians team.<br/><br/>Honestly, Brian Cashman needs to go, too. He's failed to bring anything resembling decent starting pitching in and instead relies on bats, which we all know do not win championships. I think it was a totally fair offer.

Im a die hard Red Sox fan and what that man did to us for all those years has killed us, although im glad to see him go, i admire his courage to not take a deal that he know was not fair, and basically an insult so the Yankees organization could atleast say "well, we offered, he turned it down" Joe, if by some miracle you read this, you are a hero, you stood true to your honor and dignity, as you should have because you deserve better then what they were willing to give you. Good Luck Joe, Im sure youll land on your feet, and the hall of fame i have a whole new respect for Joe Torre now.
