Former New York Yankees pitching coach Larry Rothschild lasted for two different eras in the Bronx. He was hired to Joe Girardi’s staff in 2011 and lasted through the 2019 season with manager Aaron Boone.

If you ask most Yankees fans, Rothschild overstayed his welcome because the team’s pitching staff, specifically the starting rotation, was eternally a glaring problem.
