	Jim Leyland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Leyland was selected as the manager of the year in the Florida State League in both 1977 and 1978 and in the American Association in 1979.
		Leyland left the Tigers organization for the first time in 1982 when he became Tony La Russa's third base coach for four seasons (1982-85) with the Chicago White Sox, including the team's 1983 AL West division title, before being named the 33rd manager in Pittsburgh Pirates history on November 20, 1985.
		Leyland was subsequently hired by the Colorado Rockies for the 1999 season.

	Jim Leyland happily returns to coaching - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
		Leyland's son, Patrick, a catcher just like his father, was good enough to be the first 10-year-old picked for Smith's 12-year-old team, which plays nearly 100 games a year.
		Leyland works with players on their hitting approach and sets the defense, but won't leave the dugout.
		Leyland's enthusiasm for working with his son's team is obvious, and it would seem to preclude any chance he could be lured back to managing fulltime.

		Leyland had enough passion to rip into the Tigers with a profanity-laced tirade April 17 after a lopsided loss to Cleveland because he was upset with their lackluster effort.
		Leyland wanted to get back into the dugout because his burnout-induced resignation in Colorado — with two years and $4 million left on his contract — stuck in his craw, as the 61-year-old skipper says.
		Leyland acknowledged it's easier to be in a good mood when the team is winning, and the Tigers have done a lot of that.

		Jim Leyland isn't thrilled with this story idea, by the way, because Jim Leyland is an old-school baseball guy who wonders why anyone -- you, for example -- would be interested in a story about a manager and his priest brother.
		Father Leyland watches the Tigers on television, and when he can't he listens on the radio, and says his "stomach is in knots" all the way.

		Duane Burleson / AP Tigers manager Jim Leyland, left, who was Barry Bonds' first major league manager, said Tuesday the slugger is being unfairly singled out for his alleged use of steroids.
		Jim Leyland, now in his first year as Tigers skipper, managed Bonds for seven years with the Pittsburgh Pirates before the slugger left as a free agent to join the San Francisco Giants for the 1993 season.
		Leyland would like to see equal questioning of players believed to have taken steroids to boost their performances and not just Bonds, who is struggling to hit because of an elbow injury and to move well because of his surgically repaired right knee.

		I think even with jim leyland as tigers manager you will see the same results as it has been the last few years, nothing diffrent.
		Not that Jim is a savior or anything, but his "no-nonsense" reputation and experience is apparantly just what the Dr. ordered for this clubhouse.
		Leyland hasn't managed since 1999 and he quit then because, as he stated, "his heart wasn't into it anymore." Maybe the time away has refreshed him.

	Celizic: Leyland working his magic in Detroit - Baseball - MSNBC.com
		Now, there’s Jim Leyland, last seen on Colorado’s bench in 1999, where he pulled a Larry Brown and quit on the team and himself after one awful season as a lousy facsimile of the savior-designate he was hired to be.
		He’s a born manager of baseball players, and at no time was that as apparent as back in April, when the Tigers, after a hot start, fell back into their lackadaisical ways, blithely throwing away games and not seeming to care.
		On April 17, after a dreadful 10-2 loss, Leyland closed the clubhouse doors and aired the team out, his not-ready-for-prime-time language blistering the paint on the walls and singing the hair on his players.
