Had his Yankees won that Game 5 in the Kingdome and advanced to the ALCS, Showalter might not have been pushed out of his job by George Steinbrenner.
Showalter might have won two or three of those four championships that his successor, Joe Torre, won over the next five years.
Sherlock followed Showalter to Arizona to work for the expansion Diamondbacks, who didn’t take the field until 1998. He also left Pittsburgh four months ago to follow Showalter again, this time to Queens. Sherlock first worked for Showalter in the Yankees’ system in 1989, as a player/coach in Albany. When he was done throwing batting practice Friday, Sherlock recalled that he wanted to learn from a master strategist whose command of the fundamentals earned the players’ respect.
“On a lot of teams I’ve been on, there will be a designated coach who runs the team defenses,” he said. “In our situation, Buck runs all the team defenses. He’s on the field, he’s directing it. I think the players see that and they know he knows where they’re supposed to be at all times, and it rubs off on them.”
