The advice Joe Torre is giving Aaron Boone as Yankees return to World Series
NY Post
Aaron Boone has been to the World Series once before, after he sent the Yankees and Joe Torre there in 2003 with his famous homer off Boston’s Tim Wakefield in the ALCS.
More than two decades later, Boone still leans on his former manager as he navigates the playoffs — and Boone said Monday he’d continue to do so as the Yankees prepare for their first Fall Classic in 15 years.
Asked on Monday what message he passes along to his former player in the postseason, Torre kept it simple.
“I remind managers who they are and how to use their experience in the game,” Torre said by phone. “I know we get into all the analytics and information — especially this time of year — but I tell them not to give up on their instincts. That’s what got them here. You never want to not use that.”
And that’s especially true with Boone, Torre added, which is something he wants him to keep as the pressure of the World Series builds.
“He’s third-generation in the majors, with his father [Bob] and grandfather [Ray],” said Torre, who managed both the Yankees and Dodgers and is planning on attending every game of the World Series, starting Friday at Dodger Stadium.
