Joe Torre's Impact on Baseball: The Adirondack Big Stick Legacy

It highlights Torre's significant achievements during the 1971 season, where he earned the league's Most Valuable Player award, boasting a remarkable .363 batting average. He led the National League in runs batted in (RBIs) with 137, total hits (230), and total bases (352).
