	Lou Piniella \| BaseballLibrary.com
		Piniella indeed did lead his Yankees squad to a 90-72 second-place finish in his first season, but despite an 89-73 record in ’87, the team finished behind Detroit, Toronto, and Milwaukee in the AL East after injuries to key players Rickey Henderson and Willie Randolph plagued the Yanks down the stretch.
		Piniella became the team’s TV commentator after Dallas Green was hired in 1989 to reaplace him in the dugout, but still longed to escape the confines of broadcasting and return to the field.
		Piniella was often criticized for failing to develop young pitching talent, and the Mariners' lack of depth on the mound tempered their success at the plate.

	Lou Piniella- the Player - Associated Content
		Lou Piniella was a line drive hitter with occasional power who seemed to come up big at the plate when everything was on the line, but oddly enough it was a defensive play that his fans may remember him for best.
		Lou was chosen by the Indians in the free agent amateur draft of 1962, but was then selected by the Senators in the expansion draft later that year.
		Piniella, who in a strange twist would "pilot" the Seattle Mariners as their manager many years later, never played an inning for the fledgling team, as they traded him to the Royals before opening day of 1969.

		Muchísimas costillas le había pasado a Lou en este tiempo y lo interesante es que él solamente tenía veinte anos, y ya había jugado con tres equipos.

	FanNation \| Truth&Rumors \| Is Lou losing Cubs clubhouse?
		Posted: Tuesday June 05, 2007 07:42AM ET It's too early and too much of an overstatement to suggest Lou Piniella is losing the clubhouse a mere two months into his first season as Cubs manager.
		Lou is a joke and will eventually get fired only to have this same team win the world series in the comming years under a better coach.
		Piniella is a wannabe saviour that players begin to tone out eventually, it is surprising that the Cubs players have done it this fast.
