Bruce Springsteen loves Joe Torre, so when the former Yankee manager asked him to play a few songs at his Safe At Home benefit on Friday night, The Boss gladly mumbled “Yes.” Bruce started off with a cover of California Sun, complete with lyrics about Torre’s move to the West Coast. The highlight of the night came when former Yankees outfielder Bernie Williams join Springsteen for a rockin’ version of Glory Days. Torre may have forgotten how to lead a team out of the first round of the playoffs, but he sure knows how to throw a party. No word on whether Springsteen has been put on the 15-day DL with a “tired arm.”
