Joe Torre may have managed both the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers, but it is clear where his rooting interest lies.
The 84-year-old won four World Series championships with the Yankees during their dynasty - after not returning to the Yanks following the 2007 season - his seventh straight without a title - he headed to Chavez Ravine.
However, he is only giving advice to one manager: Bronx Bombers skipper Aaron Boone.

Torre, of course, managed Boone when the current Yankees manager hit the walk-off home run to send the Yanks to the 2003 World Series, so why would he give advice to L.A. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, whose stolen base in Game 4 the year after kickstarted the Boston Red Sox's 3-0 comeback?
All kidding aside, Torre's resume speaks for itself, and he is giving Boone some tips ahead of his first World Series as a manager.
"I remind managers who they are and how to use their experience in the game," Torre said to the New York Post. "I know we get into all the analytics and information — especially this time of year — but I tell them not to give up on their instincts. That’s what got them here. You never want to not use that."
