Billy Martin had his demons, but he bled NYY pinstripes. A never say die player and a wily manager…makes me wonder what Billy could have accomplished had he conquered those demons.

Hank and Hal should fire someone just for nostalgia’s sake

Only in New York or Boston would Martin’s antics lead to the notoriety he earned as a player and/or manager. Anywhere else, 99.9999999% of baseball fans wouldn’t know who he was if his name were brought up in conversation.

The Billy Martin stories can recall.. His public squabbles in the media with georgie.. Saying with regards to Reggie Jackson and Steinbrenner “one is a born liar and the other is convicted” (George over watergate) that nearly got him fired again.. His beating in the elevator of the marsh mellow salesman in the elevator.. Numerous drunken escapades of which there were far too many to even post.
He may have been a hero, but truth be told? he knew how to manage, but was a drunken lout.
