Joe Torre’s responsibilities at the National Baseball Hall of Fame have increased.
During a recent late May weekend, a time when most families plan backyard barbecues and picnics in a park, Mr. Torre is on the road. From his home in Westchester County, New York, 22 miles northeast of Manhattan, the Brooklyn native heads for what is rapidly becoming his second home–Cooperstown.
