He also coached in the Twins and Cardinals systems post-playing career. The Twins honored him Monday: "The Twins organization mourns the loss of 1987 World Series champion, Tom Nieto." His sister Denise announced his passing on Facebook, calling his strength and resilience inspiring.
From 2005-2008, Nieto joined Willie Randolph's Mets staff — first as catching instructor, then moved to first base coach. When Randolph got axed mid-2008, Nieto went with him. That's how coaching gigs go sometimes.
After hanging up the cleats, Nieto pivoted to coaching. Spent 1995-2002 in the Yankees system, including two years (2000-2001) as their major league catching coach. He was in the org during their late-90s dynasty run.
Nieto's playing days: Drafted by the Cardinals in '81, debuted in '84. Bounced from St. Louis to Montreal to Minnesota to Philly over seven seasons. Reached two World Series — lost with the Cards in '85, won it all with the Twins in '87.
Tom Nieto — 1987 World Series champ, Yankees catching coach, and seven-year MLB catcher — died at 65 from a heart attack at his Florida home on March 27. A career that spanned playing, winning rings, and shaping catchers across three organizations just ended quietly.
The celebration mirrors college sports' wildest traditions — when the championship drought breaks, so does the furniture. Michigan fans made their statement: 37 years of waiting, one night of burning couches.
Cops were already on high alert, banning open containers and warning brawlers to stay away from downtown Ann Arbor. Sgt. Jim Anuszkiewicz had a message: "If you're going to do those kinds of activities, don't come to downtown Ann Arbor." The fires suggest some didn't get the memo.
The victory was historic — Michigan's first basketball championship in 37 years. The Wolverines dominated Arizona 91-73 in the Final Four before taking down UConn in the final. A transfer-fueled roster delivered the trophy Michigan fans had been waiting decades to see.
Police arrested one person for arson and another for disorderly conduct. Ann Arbor Police Chief Andre Anderson had warned fans before the final: "Be mindful of disruptive behavior, public intoxication, and property damage." Apparently, nobody was listening.
The chaos erupted Monday night as fans flooded the streets, setting off fireworks and igniting anything flammable. Fire crews worked overtime extinguishing burning couches while rowdy crowds climbed trees, damaged street signs, and partied like it was 1989 all over again.
Michigan fans just torched 40 couches and hay bales across Ann Arbor after the Wolverines won their first national basketball title since 1989, beating UConn 69-63. Two arrests, dozens of fires, and the police chief's pre-game warnings went up in smoke.
Jazz Chisholm Jr. (batting 6th) — Zero panic here. He struggled in cold April last year (.181 avg) before becoming an All-Star with a 30-30 season. His two-run double Sunday could be the spark. "Right now, we're just working day to day, getting better every at-bat and hoping to get hot here soon."
The Yankees' elite pitching (Cole, Rodón, Schmidt haven't even pitched yet) is masking early offensive struggles. But with championship expectations and no ring since 2009, the bottom of the order needs to wake up — fast.
Ryan McMahon (batting 9th) — The most concerning: 2-for-23 with 11 strikeouts. A career below-average hitter (even with Coors Field help) who overhauled his swing this winter. Assistant hitting coach Casey Dykes: "Sometimes it takes time for things to feel natural, to be able to repeat them without having to overthink it."
José Caballero (batting 8th) — The temp shortstop (filling in for injured Anthony Volpe) is 4-for-31 with spotty defense, including an airmailed throw Sunday. He's stolen 3 bases but needs to reach more than .206 to challenge for playing time when Volpe returns in a month.
Austin Wells (batting 7th) — The defensive ace is 4-for-24 with hard contact but too many grounders. Boone sees progress in his at-bat quality, including a seven-pitch battle that ended with a long flyout to the wall. "I still think there's a lot more in there offensively."
The Yankees are 7-2 with MLB's best rotation ERA (1.81) — but their bottom four hitters are the worst in baseball. Nos. 6-9 are hitting .143/.167/.404 through nine games, with just 15 singles and 3 doubles in 143 plate appearances. Manager Aaron Boone admits: "We need to get more production there, and we will."
Brother vs. brother drama, hard slides, and open threats of retaliation — this Red Sox-Brewers rivalry just got personal. If Woodruff (or any Brewer) hits Contreras again, expect fireworks.
No other team has hit Contreras as many times as Milwaukee (24 HBPs). He's clearly reached his breaking point and believes the Brewers are targeting him intentionally. The bad blood is real, and this escalation could spark serious retaliation next time these teams meet.
"They always say 'I'm not trying to hit you.' That gets old," Contreras told reporters. "Next time they hit me again, I'm going to take one of them out. That's the message. I don't care what they call it — all I care about is my health."
Contreras didn't cool off after reaching first. On the very next play, he slid hard into second base, taking out Brewers shortstop David Hamilton, who needed a trainer. Brewers manager Pat Murphy came out to argue, and Contreras kept barking from the dugout.
The latest incident happened Monday night at Fenway when Woodruff caught Contreras on the fingers in the third inning. Contreras immediately started jawing at the pitcher, and Woodruff fired back. Both moved toward each other before umpires and William Contreras (Willson's brother, ironically the Brewers' catcher) separated them.
Red Sox first baseman Willson Contreras just issued a scorching ultimatum to the Milwaukee Brewers: hit me again, and I'm taking one of your guys out. This came after Brandon Woodruff plunked him for the 6th time — and the 24th time overall against Milwaukee.
Trout's been hit before and complained about high pitches throughout his career. At 34, he's still producing (.212/.435/.424, 2 HR through 10 games), but the Mariners' aggressive inside game is testing his patience.
This wasn't a one-off. Friday's series opener? Bryan Woo nearly decapitated Trout with his first pitch, then beaned his shoulder on the very next one. Trout clearly said something to Woo on the mound.
"If you can't control it up there, you shouldn't do it," Trout fumed postgame. He's fed up with Seattle's approach: fastballs up and in are their strategy to get him out, but when pitchers miss, it's dangerous.
Mike Trout got drilled by a 94 mph fastball Sunday and he's not holding back — the Angels star called out the Mariners for reckless high-and-tight pitching that forced him out of an 11-inning thriller.
Casey Legumina's eighth-inning heater nailed Trout's left hand, leaving it visibly swollen (X-ray negative). Trout ripped off his elbow guard in pain and had to exit the game — an eventual 8-7 Angels win.
