More bullshit.
Whitey had FIVE seasons. He didn't need another year.
The team stopped responding and could only go so far.

It's an opinion. Whitey went on to do just as much in St Louis, and I was at 100's of game during that period. Howser had plenty of heat on him pre-World Series. I'm not saying it's justified I'm saying I remember it.
Like I said I was a kid, but my dad who was a minor league player, and forgot more about the game than I'll ever know was a Whitey guy. Let's remember Dick Howser didn't have Yankee dynasties in his way either. I liked them both fine. Most baseball managers through history get shit on. It's just the way it is. Its an opinion. Just like your opinion this current team didn't have "it" and Ben Zobrist was somehow a dissapointment. You aren't always as right as you think you are and neither am i. Unless you are 60 years old I doubt your opinion is based on anything more than fuzzy memories just like me. Ease up dude.
