Michael was a master of the hidden ball trick, having pulled it off five times in his career. In the game of baseball, the hidden ball trick is a play in which the runner is deceived about the location of the ball. ...
After retiring, Michael became a coach with the Yankees and was manager of the Yankees from 1981 until 1982, when he was fired half-way through the season. He would manage the Chicago Cubs from 1986-1987, the only post-retirement years not spent with the Yankees. In 1990 he was made general manager of the Yankees, during this time he built the Yankees farm system and laid the seeds for their dominance in the end of the decade. This was facilitated in part by the suspension of Yankees owner George Steinbrenner who had earned a reputation as a meddler. During Michael's tenure as general manager, the Yankees drafted such notable players as Bernie Williams, Andy Pettitte, Derek Jeter, Jorge Posada, and others. The Yankees also began building young talent, rather than trading it away, as they had done in the 1980s with little success. Michael officially served as GM until 1995, when Bob Watson took over.
