	Yankees name Mazzilli bench coach - Sportsterminal.com - News
		Mazzilli was named as bench coach of the Yankees on Wednesday, replacing Joe Girardi, who left to become the manager of the Florida Marlins last month.
		Mazzilli, 50, served as first base coach and outfield coach with the Yankees from 2000-03 before becoming manager of the Orioles.
		Mazzilli was fired as Orioles manager on August 4 after the team lost 16 of 18 games to fall to 51-56.

	Kerry's Calculus
		Mazzilli was a switch hitter, a fast runner, had some pop, was regarded as an excellent defensive outfielder...and he was a home town guy, a Brooklyn native, and the star-starved Mets were inclined to market him as a sex symbol as well.
		Mazzilli broke straight back turned, and was in the process of making a basket catch on the warning track when he slammed into the wall with his head hitting first.
		Mazzilli had the opportunity to experience professional baseball from a wide variety of positions when he was still playing, from hyped star to the 24th or 25th man on a big league roster all well before reaching the age of 30.

	washingtonpost.com: Known More Than Only By Name
		Outside New York, where Mazzilli was a local favorite as a Mets player long ago and respected as a first base coach with the Yankees for the last four years, the new Orioles' manager is as little-known and lightly qualified as any rookie skipper you'll find.
		Mazzilli was known as a cocky New York heartthrob 25 years ago when he was a switch-hitting one-time all-star outfielder for the Mets.
		Now is indeed Mazzilli's time, one that, just two weeks ago, almost nobody in baseball would have predicted and that even he never dreamed could arrive so suddenly.

		Mazzilli does not consider being called a "Torre disciple" an insult, but he definitely wants to make his own imprint on an organization that desperately needs revitalization.

	Another Bombshell as Orioles Fire Mazzilli - New York Times
		Baltimore's baseball executives convinced Angelos that Mazzilli was the best choice to replace Mike Hargrove, who was fired after the 2003 season, but Mazzilli was not allowed to name his own coaching staff.
		Still, Mazzilli acknowledged that he was surprised when Jim Beattie, the team's executive vice president of baseball operations, informed him of Angelos's decision at the team hotel yesterday morning.
		Mazzilli, a former Met and Yankee, did not say anything about his plans, but he is only 50 years old, and it seems likely that he wants to remain in baseball.

		Mazzilli was removed before the Orioles' game with the Angels on Thursday, ending a tumultuous week and strange 1 1/2-year tenure in which Mazzilli was both lauded for his spurts of success and heavily criticized for his in-game managing, relationships with players and laidback style.
		Mazzilli, who led the Orioles to a 78-84 record last season, finished with 129-140 and some fans in Baltimore will wonder whether Mazzilli was the fall guy for a slew of injuries, poor starting pitching and the lack of any major personnel moves before the trading deadline.
		Despite the club's fast start, Mazzilli was never approached about honoring the option on his contract and he became resigned to the fact that he could lose his job.

	Lee Mazzilli \| BaseballLibrary.com
		Brooklyn native Mazzilli was heavily promoted by the star-hungry Mets in the late 1970s, not only as a prospect but also as a sex symbol.
		He tied a Mets record with five runs scored in a game against the Braves on August 18, and was the hero of the All-Star Game, tying the score in the eighth inning with a two-run pinch homer and then walking with the bases loaded in the ninth to drive in the winning run.
		Mazzilli was moved to first base in 1980, but the simultaneous arrival of Dave Kingman and Mookie Wilson in 1981 forced him back to left field.
