Suzyn Waldman Cries on the Air for Joe Torre
Oct 9, 2007 – 4:04 PM
That's Yankees announcer Suzyn Waldman following the Yankees' loss on Monday. I'm torn: is this funny or sad? On the one hand, Joe Torre is getting a raw deal, but wow, talk about not even pretending to be objective. This is hardly the first time we saw Waldman wear her heart on her sleeve (her on-air freak out upon seeing "Roger Clemens standing right in George Steinbrenner's box!" is a highlight of the entire MLB season, no?), but is she overstepping her bounds by displaying such emotion? Awful Announcing thinks yes; I'm not so sure.
Why? I guess because it's genuine. Look, showering Torre with sentimental affection can't possibly be the company line right about now. If anything, the Yankees' brass should be trying to take sentiment out of the equation so they're not vilified when Torre is shoved out the door. So while crying on the air may not be the most professional response, it's proof that Waldman is a fan of the game and not just a Yankees mouthpiece. I don't turn on the radio for serious journalism, so I can appreciate that.
