He took over as manager in 1978 from Billy Martin when the Yankees came from 14 games back and won the A.L. East in a one game playoff, the famous Bucky Dent HR game.<BR/><BR/>I put a link to Angel Flight West on my site. If you are ever in NJ, look me up...I'll buy the beer.<BR/><BR/>PS_M.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13389933008828142220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19492623.post-1148359632975883722006-05-23T00:47:00.000-04:002006-05-23T00:47:00.000-04:00I just noticed your post on March 14 about my dad,...I just noticed your post on March 14 about my dad, Peter Tomarken, and I wanted you to know that it had more to do with the Yankees than you could imagine. He was one of the biggest Yankee fans out there (from his childhood in NY), and he instilled in my entire family a fierce loyalty that remains to this day. I still remember the time that he and I attended a game when I was a teenager. He had developed a friendship with Clyde King, and I believe Mr. King arranged for the scoreboard to "salute us" by name. It was incredible. We still have the photo. Thank you for taking the time to acknowledge him -- it would have thrilled him.<BR/><BR/>Jason TomarkenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
