NEW YORK - Yankees' owner George Steinbrenner has tapped Billy Martin, the five-time Yankee manager who died December 25, 1989, to manage the team in 2007. Steinbrenner said he was "deeply disappointed" at his team's elimination in the first round of the AL playoffs by the Detroit Tigers, calling it a "sad failure.""Billy's the guy I turn to when things need fixed," Steinbrenner said in a prepared statement.
Mr. Martin did not immediately return calls for this story.
