I will remember lively discussion, and Leyland just stepped back, listened, 2006 as a season full of great, memorable moments – both on and then walked away. A moment later, he marched right and off the field – and as the season I got to watch one of the back in. “All right, if you had one game to win, who would great managers in the game working at his absolute peak. you want as your manager, me or ______?
