Hall of Fame Inductee Jim Leyland Touched by Former Players' Messages and Uncertain About Hat Choice

Former Pirates manager Jim Leyland, recently elected to the Hall of Fame, revealed that the text messages that touched him the most were from former minor leaguers he had to tell their careers were over. Leyland, who managed the Pirates from 1986 to 1996, expressed gratitude for the messages from players like Barry Bonds and Justin Verlander, but emphasized the impact of hearing from those who never made it to the big leagues. He also discussed his son Patrick's career in baseball and his own willingness to continue learning about the game.
