On Friday, the New York Yankees finally made their choice of manager, picking the man to be Joe Girardi‘s successor. After a long series of interviews, the team had two finalists: San Francisco Giants’ bench coach Hensley Meulens and ESPN analyst Aaron Boone. Ultimately, it was not Meulens who was chosen, coming in second behind Boone, who is the Yankees’ new manager.
That decision, on the surface, is an odd one. They both have solid résumés, but only one of the two have experience coaching in the major leagues. In fact, only one of the two have experience coaching with a big league organization.
