Joe Torre manages the Los Angeles Dodgers and is a former Major League Baseball player for the Milwaukee/Atlanta Braves, New York Mets, and the St. Louis Cardinals. After retiring, he has managed all three teams.
Torre also managed the New York Yankees from 1996-2007 reaching the playoffs every year and winning an astonishing ten American League East Division titles, six American League pennants, four World Series titles, and overall compiled a .605 winning percentage.
Torre currently ranks 5th in all-time managerial wins in the majors. He is surely a future hall-of-famer.
The card feature here shows Joe catching as a rookie for the Milwaukee Braves. Seeing the skipper now and seeing a card from his young years is interesting enough for a mention on the blog.
