Yankees cult hero Homer Bush is coming back to the Big Apple. The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal is reporting the former infielder will manage the Staten Island FerryHawks in the independent Atlantic League.
Bush, now 50 years old, spent seven years in MLB with the Yankees, Blue Jays, and Marlins. He became a fan favorite on the legendary 1998 team, mostly as a pinch-runner. Bush was then traded to Toronto that winter as part of the Roger Clemens trade. He answered by hitting .320 with 32 stolen bases in his first full season the following year.
