Joe Torre, named last week as manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers after ending a 12-year reign with the New York Yankees, is working on a memoir. The book, currently untitled, will be co-authored by Sports Illustrated's Tom Verducci and will include Torre's memories of the Yankees, with whom he won four World Series championships, and general thoughts on the game. Doubleday, an imprint of Random House Inc., will publish the book in the spring of 2009. "Baseball has changed dramatically since I began my tenure with the Yankees," Torre said in a statement issued Thursday by Doubleday. "It was a wonderful 12 years, and I look forward to sharing my thoughts and perspective on how the game has evolved."
