Willie’s Firing Harkens Harrelson Back to 1990
Jun 22nd, 2008 | By Joe McDonald | Category: Baseball Stories, Top StoriesCENTRAL ISLIP, NY – Late at night as the Mets were on the road, the team fired its manager as the highly regarded club – just a season and change off a game 7 loss in the NLCS – floundered a few games under .500.
New York was supposed to dominate, because a Cy Young winner from Minnesota came to the club and the lefthanded closer was considered one of the best in the league.
Does this sound familiar?
Willie Randolph deserved better. He deserved to be treated like a man and not twist in the wind for the past few weeks, while the Mets decided his fate.
