Torre Happy For His Former Team (UPDATED)

(Update) Here's more from Torre via Kristie Ackert:

"To watch what they've done, especially with Joe Girardi at the helm, it really made me feel good," Torre said. "Even though I am supposed to be a National League fan, when you're as close to these guys as I've been all these years, well, I was just really pleased for them."

He also praised Joe Girardi saying "Coming after my 12 years and after all the success we had, that was not an easy thing for Joe Girardi," he said. "He never backed away from it. He's a quality individual." And said that Alex Rodriguez "got the monkey off his back" and that he was "happy for him."

From The AP:

Dodgers manager Joe Torre says he was pleased when successor Joe Girardi and the New York Yankees won the World Series this month.

...

Speaking before his foundation's annual gala on Friday night, Torre said it was "surreal" watching the Yankees face the Phillies in the World Series. But he was happy to see some of his former players earn another title.

I will always be a Joe Torre fan, and I'm sure part of him was happy, but there's probably another part of him that was either jealous or angry. Not with the players or Girardi themselves, but with the idea of the Yankees winning without him.
