today in "blasts from the past that'll make ya laugh"

This article. Note the date.

But Torre, who vowed that he will avoid the temptation of starting Rivera even
after Scott Kamieniecki was pounded again for six runs in the Yankees' 10-4 loss
to Seattle on Friday night...
Joba to the bullpen! Mariano to the starting rotation! (I hope, in ten years, we're all laughing about how putting Joba in the pen permanently would have been just as stupid as keeping Mariano a starter. Though this was a nice game.)

Also, remember when the Twins' manager said Mariano should be "illegal" and it was "unfair" that they had to face him because he was just on a higher level? In 1996? That was awesome.
