"Apparently, the Red Sox didn’t blame Zimmer for that historic collapse. In September of 2010, they inducted him into their Hall of Fame. And in all his years with the Yankees as Torre’s bench coach, he was always received warmly by Boston fans, even after his infamous brawl with Pedro Martinez in Game 3 of the 2003 Yankees-Red Sox ALCS."

Says about as much as you can say about his character, loved and respected by everyone.

A favorite Yankee. RIP.
