Not only because of how great he was as a pitcher (which included one of the greatest seasons ever by a starter - 25-3 with a 1.74 ERA in 1978), but his makeup. Doing what he did is one thing. Doing it in New York City is another. That's a major factor in him being here. I know when I send him out to talk to a pitcher in a big situation at Yankee Stadium that he's been there many times before.
