Ron Guidry has been named the pitching coach for the New York Yankees for the 2006 season replacing Mel Stottlemyre. First the Yanks bring back 2 years ago Donnie Baseball for their hitting coach, and now The Gator is the pitching coach. After I heard Mel Stottlemyre was leaving (because of disagreements with The Boss – and I don’t mean Bruce Springsteen), I was hoping they would either bring in Guidry or Goose Gossage.
