YANKEE GM TO RESIGN: Bob Watson will have plenty to be proud of when he looks back at his time as general manager of the New York Yankees.
He became the first black GM to win the World Series. He won the championship in his first full season in the Bronx. And he survived more than two years of run-ins with owner George Steinbrenner.
Watson was to announce his resignation Tuesday, The Associated Press learned, and walk away on his own terms from a job that saw many of his predecessors sent packing by the Boss.
