Appointed to his role by Commissioner Allan H. (Bud) Selig on February 26, 2011, Torre is the Office of the Commissioner’s primary liaison to the general managers and field managers of the 30 Major League Clubs regarding all baseball and on-field matters. Since December 2009, he has served on Commissioner Selig’s Special Committee for On-Field Matters. He also was a key part of the sub-committee on the expansion of instant replay for the 2014 season. Torre is the Chairman of the Joe Torre Safe At Home Foundation, which he and his wife, Ali, launched in 2002. The Joe Torre Safe At Home Foundation’s mission is to develop educational programs that will end the cycle of domestic violence and save lives. Since its inception, the Foundation has educated thousands of students, parents, teachers and school faculty about the devastating effects of domestic violence. Currently reaching children in nine schools and two community centers in New York and New Jersey, Margaret’s Place, a tribute to Joe’s mother, Margaret, provides middle and high school students with a “safe room,” in which to talk to each other and to a professional counselor trained in domestic violence intervention and pre- vention about violence-related issues. In 2010, Torre was appointed by President Barack Obama to serve on the National Advisory Committee on Violence Against Women. On December 9, 2013, the National Baseball Hall of Fame announced that its Expansion Era Committee had unanimously elected Torre as a part of its Class of 2014 inductees. Hall of Fame Weekend 2014 will be held July 25-28 in Cooperstown, NY, with the Induction Ceremony slated for Sunday, July 27, 2014. Fellow managers Bobby Cox and Tony La Russa are among Torre’s fellow inductees. In the fall of 2010, Torre concluded his third and final season as manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers, whom he led to the National League Championship Series in 2008 and 2009. Previously, he spent 12 seasons as manager of the New York Yankees (1996-2007), guiding them to the Postseason every year, including six World Series appearances and four World Championships (1996, 1998-2000). Torre made his managerial debut with the New York Mets on May 31, 1977, becoming the first player-manager in the majors since 1959. He managed the Mets until 1981 and the Atlanta Braves from 1982-84. After spending nearly six seasons as a television broadcaster for the California Angels, Torre managed the St. Louis Cardinals from 1990-95. He also led Team USA in the 2013 World Baseball Classic. Torre ranks fifth all-time in managerial wins with 2,326. In 1982 and 1998, he was named Manager of the Year by the Associated Press. In 1996 and 1998, the Baseball Writers Association of America named him American League Manager of the Year and, in 1996, The Sporting News named him Sportsman of the Year. He won ESPN’s ESPY Award for Best Manager/Coach of the Year in 1997, 1999, 2000 and 2001. During his 18-year playing career (first/third baseman, catcher) with the Milwaukee/Atlanta Braves, Cardinals and Mets, Torre compiled a lifetime .297 batting average, had 2,342 hits, 252 home runs and 1,185 RBI, and hit over .300 five times. He was a nine-time All-Star and the National League’s 1971 Most Valuable Player, batting .363 with 230 hits, 24 home runs and a league-leading 137 RBI. In April 2011, Torre was honored at the Ellis Island Family Heritage Awards, which celebrate exemplary Ellis Island/Port of New York immigrants or their descendants who have made a major contribution to the American experience. Joe’s mother, Margaret, emigrated from Salerno, Italy through Ellis Island in 1911. Torre is the co-author of three books: The Yankee Years (Doubleday 2009); Joe Torre’s Ground Rules for Winners: 12 Keys to Managing Team Players, Tough Bosses, Setbacks and Success (Hyperion 1999); and Chasing the Dream: My Lifelong Journey to the World Series (Bantam 1997, 1998). Torre was born on July 18, 1940 in Brooklyn, New York. He, Ali and their daughter, Andrea, live in Beverly Hills, California. His three adult children are Michael, Cristina

  • Wake Forest Moves on from Manning
    C6 SUNDAY, APRIL 26, 2020 ••• RICHMOND TIMES-DISPATCH SPORTS BRIEFS COLLEGE BASKETBALL Wake Forest moves on from Manning RALEIGH, N.C. — Danny Manning never built a winner at Wake Forest. Now the school is looking for a new coach and direction. Wake Forest fired Manning on Saturday after losing seasons in five of his six years with one NCAA tour- nament appearance. The move came more than six weeks after the Demon Deacons lost to Pittsburgh in the opening game of the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament, ending the season shortly before the coronavirus pandemic led to a shutdown of college and professional sports. The decision came after what athletic director John Currie called an “overall evaluation” of a program with two winning seasons in the past decade going back to the days of Jeff Bzdelik. Manning, a former No. 1 overall NBA draft pick, went 78-111 in Winston-Salem with a 30-80 mark in ACC regular-season games. Those league struggles included a 6-49 mark in league road games and 1-6 in the ACC tournament.

  • Greetings! for the 13,000 Students in Our Programs Nationwide, the Start of Fall Is About More Than Going Back to School. for Ma
    Greetings! For the 13,000 students in our programs nationwide, the start of fall is about more than going back to school. For many, it’s the opportunity to reconnect with our counselors and our safe rooms. From preparing for our Domestic Violence Awareness Month campaigns, to partnering with baseball teams (both minor AND major), to celebrating a big milestone, we have so much to share with you. Check out some highlights from Safe At Home! Sneak Peak: DV Awareness Month Planning Every October, Safe At Home commemorates Domestic Violence Awareness Month by holding school-wide awareness campaigns at all of our 15 locations. A group of students – known as peer leaders – will work with the therapist to spread the word throughout their school, using skills like leadership and advocacy that they’ll continue to build throughout the year. This year’s theme is all about those skills, and more. “Your words are your power. How will you use yours?” will encourage students to look to the strengths and power they already possess to be an ally and advocate. We look forward to sharing stories about their campaign activities soon, but in the meantime, check out this beautiful campaign poster made by Safe At Home’s alumni intern, Julissa. Did you know that a gift of just $250 can help us buy the supplies we need for an awareness campaign for one entire school? Visit joetorre.org/donate to make a gift of any size to support our awareness campaigns. Partnership with Minor League Baseball Raises $5000+ Safe At Home partnered with Minor League Baseball for our third annual Domestic Violence Awareness Night campaign this summer.

Miles NBER Working Paper No. 17023 May 2011 JEL No. K23,K42 ABSTRACT In determining the legality of online poker – a multibillion dollar industry – courts have relied heavily on the issue of whether or not poker is a game of skill. Using newly available data, we analyze that question by examining the performance in the 2010 World Series of Poker of a group of poker players identified as being highly skilled prior to the start of the events. Those players identified a priori as being highly skilled achieved an average return on investment of over 30 percent, compared to a -15 percent for all other players.
