What Wayne Huizenga did to his team was criminal. Huizenga is worshipped in Miami. I don't. He gutted a lot of teams. Not just in baseball but the Dolphins and Panthers too.
Marlins could've had a team that would've challenged and threaten the division winning streak the Braves were in the middle of in 1997 and for a few years...instead their owner decided to dismantle it completely as punishment to Floridians for not falling for his manipulation to get a stadium he wanted without his own contribution. In doing so he not only affected the franchise for years to come but he also destroyed whatever progress for developing a dedicated fanbase, even though they won yet another championship 6 years later (with a similar dismantle following right after).
Tigers fan and thank Leyland with a burning passion for restoring the roar in Michigan!
Agreed!
My one and only favorite manager for both the Marlins and Tigers
I remember him back to his White Sox coaching days and he always had time for us kids. Fav manager without question and he took no shit
Leylands got integrity, he’s been in a lot of great games
I'd play for Jim Leyland any day on any team. What a manager.
This guy loves the game of baseball and is very passionate about it a true fan threw and threw
I love Jim Leyland. What a awsome Manager
In all his videos he's either screaming or choking up. Guy loves this game.
Best GM in MLB... Dave Dombrowski
A great manager, but an even better man
HOFer. Congrats Jim!
Hall of Fame call?
Yes. HOF 2024
I've got his autograph on a program from Evansville Triplets...
How ironic that Leyland managed Barry Bonds and beat him in the playoffs in 1997.
Leyland low-key looks like walter white

This would be a great video if Bob Costas had lost his voice

He helped the Marlins win a WS and he quits and everyone gets traded.
