	Cito Gaston: on top of the baseball world. (baseball manager) - Ebony - HighBeam Research
		When Cito Gaston was splitting time growing up in San Antonio and Corpus Christi, Texas, he had a little difficulty deciding exactly what he wanted to do for a living.
		But in reality it is Cito's direction, his strategy, his knowledge of the game and his uncanny ability to get the most out of his players that probably will serve as the wheels that carry him straight into the Hall of Fame.
		By the time Cito was traded from the San Diego Padres back to the Atlanta Braves in 1974, he already had shown what he could do on the field (his career best year came in 1970 when he posted a batting average of.318, 29 home runs and 93 runs batted in).

		CNNSI.com - Television - Profile - CNNSI.com Profile: Cito Gaston - Thursday June 22, 2000 12:42 AM Nancy Newman explains, Gaston is back as hitting coach, the post in which he started with the club.
		In the circle of his big league life, Gaston is not only in his early role with the Toronto Blue Jays, but he's working for the man he beat as dueling skippers in the '93 World Series, Jim Fregosi.
		Cito says he has not given up on managing, and in fact, would be up for another go-round if the right offer came along.

		Retired Toronto manager Cito Gaston was relaxing in his Florida home and watching a ballgame on television when he found himself shouting out Randy Johnson's pitches as the Big Unit was winding up.
		While leading the Blue Jays to World Series championships in 1992 and 1993, Gaston developed a reputation for being one of the most astute managers in the game at busting pitchers who were tipping their pitches.
		Gaston said the easiest pitcher to read that he ever saw was Roy Lee Jackson, a journeyman righthander who played for four teams from 1977-86 and had a career record of 28-34.

	Cito Gaston - Baseball Fever
		I have wondered why Cito Gaston has not received the credit he deserves for leading the Blue Jays to back to back WS titles in 1992 and 1993, not to mention the 4 AL East titles the Jays won under him?
		I know Gaston came back as the hitting coach with the Jays in the late '90's, but does anyone think he is being flballed for some reason by teams in baseball?
		Seems to me that Ash didn't give Gaston the pieces he needed for another run at the division and that Gaston became Ash's scapegoat after a few frustrating seasons.

	ESPN.com: MLB - Prospectus: Bret Boone's fluke season (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		A familiar name is on top, though Cito Gaston is better known today as a former manager than for his playing career.
		Cito set career highs in batting average (.318, next best was.269, on-base percentage (.364 vs..313), and slugging percentage (.543 vs..405).
		In Boone's defense, one could argue that Boone is getting shafted because we didn't consider that Boone's second-best year, 1994, was a strike-shortened one, and he may have gone on to post a high MLV had their not been a labor stoppage.

	BBTF's Newsblog Discussion :: Toronto Star: Gaston looking even better in hindsight
		Olerud started all but 11 games in 1994, started all but 9 games in 1995, and it wasn't until 1996 that he sat significant amounts of time, and then he was hurt and not hitting a lot and not hitting at all against lefties, and he still played every day against righties.
		I've always figured Cito didn't get another job as a mixture of race, attitude (he said he wouldn't take just any manager role, it had to be the right one), and not having the right contacts in the right places.
		Cito's biggest strength, though, was in his ability to assemble veteran players into an arrangement where they can succeed.

	Batter's Box Interactive Magazine - Rumour Mill
		Bob Elliott of the Toronto Sun reports that Cito Gaston is the front-runner for the Chicago gig, and says that Wally Backman, who was managing their AA club, ruined his chances to be promoted by the White Sox when he rooted for the Twins to beat them down the stretch.
		A number of young pitchers did well under Gaston, but is that because of how well he handled a pitching staff, or because he had a very good pitching coach who handled most aspects of the pitchers.
		Gaston left Wells in against the Brewers to allow more than 10 ER; it was one of those games where someone had to take a licking for the rest of the staff.

		And Toronto rehired Cito Gaston as hitting coach, even though the former manager clashed with Green when the outfielder first made the big leagues.
		Gaston, who certainly would not be Green's choice as a mentor, was brought back into the mix; and, those coaches who Green did like were fired to allow Fregosi to bring in some of his cronies.
		I'm now convinced that retrieving Gaston from the scrapheap was a deliberate tactic, intended to ostracize Green from the organization so that money would be less of a factor in the young outfielder's decision about whether to sign a long-term contract in Toronto.

		So exactly what has Gaston done, besides be the scapegoat for a team that just can't put runs on the scoreboard or "Ws" in the win column.
