Big Stein

The Billy Martin hirings and firings are of course well known, but the Stick Michael/Bob Lemon carousel is also funny to see.  Indeed, when laid out in black and white, the Boss's managerial decisions look like the Who's On First? script.

A history of Yankees' managers under the ownership of George Steinbrenner:
1974: Jan. 3 … Bill Virdon hired.
1975: Aug. 1 … Virdon fired. Billy Martin hired.
1978: July 24 … Martin resigned; July 25 … Bob Lemon hired; July 29 … Martin hired for 1980.
1979: June 18 … Lemon fired. Martin hired; Oct. 28 … Martin fired. Dick Howser hired.
1980: Nov. 21 … Howser's resignation announced. Gene Michael hired.
1981: Sept. 6 … Michael fired. Lemon hired.
1982: April 26 … Lemon fired. Michael hired; Aug. 3 … Michael fired. Clyde King hired as interim manager.
1983: Jan. 11 … Martin hired; Dec. 16 … Martin fired. Yogi Berra hired.
1985: April 28 … Berra fired. Martin hired; Oct. 27 … Martin fired. Lou Piniella hired.
1987: Oct. 19 … Piniella promoted. Martin hired.
1988: June 23 … Martin fired. Piniella hired; Oct. 7 … Piniella fired. Dallas Green hired.
