Joey Cora is currently the Mets third base coach, but his role as a Mariner in the 1995 Division Series changed Yankees history.
And Mattingly practically jumped through the phone to say absolutely, 1000 percent, Cora should’ve been called out.
It’s one reason why the Mets are 5.5 games ahead in the East after Saturday’s 5-4 win over Seattle, the biggest lead in the majors. They’re the only team that’s yet to lose a series, which tells you plenty about Showalter’s dogma and how it’s being embraced in the clubhouse. He went on to make a confession. Playing against the Yankees in 1995, Cora accepted the long-standing rap against Showalter – controlling, inflexible, out of touch — without looking any deeper.“People that said those things about Buck don’t know him,” Cora said. “His demeanor is serious, but it’s not like he’s a soldier or a policeman. He listens, he talks to the players, and he pays attention. The things he sees. All I can say is, he does things the right way.
