This time, he hasn’t fired any old lineup writer. T his time he has fired Yogi Berra, a folk hero" in Yankee Stadium, a man who has been a baseball fixture with New York ball clubs since 1946. And this time, the replacement is, for the fourth time, Billy Martin. New York has seen this act before — the dirt-kicking, the umpire-bait ing, the whole routine. When the Yankees were winning pennants, it played. But the last time around, the Martin magic didn’t work. Despite his kick-in-the-pants style, the Yan kees finished third in 1983. Act Four could be an awfully tough sell in a sophisticated town that has had a four-decade love af fair with the man Steinbrenner fired. Steinbrenner’s terrible swift sword swung for the 13th time in 1 1 years on Sunday, terminating Berra after just 16 games, 10 of them losses. There are, for goodness sakes, only 146 games left to play and the Yankees, while in last place, are only 4 'A games hack. Still, the Yankees belong to Stein brenner and it is his dub to handle as he wishes. And he will do any thing to keep his team from looking bad while tne crosstown Mets are soaring. Yogi’s walking papers came after the owner had assured one and all in spring training that Berra would be the Yankees’ pilot through the whole season. This, of course, has happened be fore in Yankeeland. In 1982, Stein brenner swore up and down that Lemon would l>e his one and only manager for the entire year, slumps and losing streaks notwithstanding. For Berra, the firing could not have come as any great surprise. He has been through enough adminis trations to know that the Yankee manager's job is strictly transient. Howser got fired af ter winning 103 games, so anything is possible. Berra had a two-year contract and the Yankees had baseball’s best re cord in the second half of last sea son. Nevertheless, Steinbrenner, in an end-of-season, state-of-the-team address, refused to say' for certain that Yogi would be hack this year. Most teams make announctn when they fire managen.
