Jim Leyland Is A Boss And Is Stepping Down, So Here He Is Tearing Into Barry Bonds Before It Was Cool

Older video that’s making it’s rounds today because of him stepping down as manager of the Tigers. It doesn’t matter what team you’re a fan of, if you know baseball, you have to at least respect Jim Leyland. There’s no school like old school. Smoking a pack a game while managing the way baseball is intended to be managed. Was a player’s coach but wouldn’t hesitate to put guys in their place a la him ripping Bonds a second asshole to inject some horse testosterone in.

Back in ’05 when the Phils signed Charlie, I really wanted this old grumpy son of a bitch. Worked out for everyone cause the Phils obviously had a good run and all that Leyland did is take a team coming off the worst season in baseball history in a city where God literally shits on for a living and turned them into contenders year in and year out. Tigers hadn’t been to the playoffs in 18 years or had a winning season in 12 years before Jimmy took them 4 playoff appearances, and 2 world series appearances in his 8 years with only 1 losing season.? Add in a decent run with the Bucs and a ring with the Marlins, not a bad career who can out smoke the shit of the Marbolo Man and has no business living to 66 (even though the cigs give him that rugged, 85-year-old shine).
