New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner informed reporters yesterday that manager Joe Torre could face firing if the Yankees do not emerge from spring training as Grapefruit League champions. 'I expectand our great fans in Tampa demandJoe Torre to bring the Grapefruit League championship home every year,' said Steinbrenner, adding that Torre will also be 'held to the Yankee standard' in both simulated and intrasquad games. 'Though Joe has had success in the past, we haven't brought the Grapefruit League trophy home to Legends Field in I don't know how long.' Steinbrenner added that he has given Torre every possible resource he should need to finally defeat the Grapefruit League's longstanding dynasty, the Kansas City Royals.
