During my baseball travels, I never met a man who didn't know Billy Martin. Billy must have been on a first-name basis with probably 10,000 notable Americans. Sen. Eugene McCarthy, the presidential peace candidate who had become chums with Billy when he managed the Twins, came to [1975 Rangers spring training in] Pompano Beach and stayed a week. So too did entire squadrons of automobile dealers, tavern owners ... backslappers and hucksters and hustlers, all wanting to say hello to the Little Dago. A district judge from New Orleans who had known Martin from God could only guess where arrived at Billy's springtime cavalcade of thrills, claiming that he was in town "looking for a little keister for Easter".
On the night that the firing [from the Rangers] was announced Billy sat with a group of sportswriters in his office and, I'm told, wept ... There is a term that describes Billy's emotional state at that point. Crocodile tears, I believe they call it. The next time I laid eyes on Billy Martin was in the Pontchartrain Hotel in Detroit. Billy was on television, appearing on the game of the week. He was wearing his proud number 1 on the back of a uniform that had pinstripes ... The new field manager of the New York Yankees looked real happy. Like I said, say what you want about Billy Martin, he was smart.
The only job. The Yankee job. This is the only job I ever wanted.
