Aaron Boone already has the experience of sending the Yankees to a World Series, but Mark Teixeira believes the franchise’s new skipper is more than capable of doing it again.
The ex-Yankee first baseman and current ESPN baseball analyst told Peter Botte of the New York Daily News on Saturday that the club’s hiring of Boone was a smart decision, as the former ESPN employee has the right personality and mentality to lead a young, promising team to future championships.
“Great hire. Not surprised that [general manager Brian Cashman] went with a Boonie-type, just because of how well-respected he is in the baseball industry, not only from his knowledge, but also just the way he communicates and gets along with people and understands the dynamics of the clubhouse so well,” Teixeira said.
