Joe Torre is a an American baseball legend–an all-star player, New York Yankees manager, hall-of-famer, and\u00a0 the current chief baseball officer for Major League Baseball.<\/p>\n
Torre is also a child victim of domestic violence, and his commitment to helping others like him led him to create Safe at Home, a foundation that serves young people traumatized by exposure to domestic violence, child abuse, and sexual assault.<\/p>\n
In late 2007, during a week-long break on the Magic Tour, Bruce made a special appearance at a New York City benefit for the foundation, and he wrote a new song for the occasion.<\/p>\n
Just a few days before the event, Torre announced that he was ending his eleven-year tenure as the manager of the Yankees and heading west to manage the Dodgers instead.\u00a0As a lifetime baseball fan and a known Yankees fan, it’s not surprising that Bruce decided to both tweak and pay homage to Torre in song.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately only the end of the song was captured on video (and Bruce has never played it since), which means we’ll have to use our imaginations to flesh out the rest of the song.<\/p>\n
