Joe Torre had been a catcher and a broadcast announcer for the St. Louis Cardinals. Shortly after he was named manager, according to the Pittsburgh Press, New York Yankees’ announcer Phil Rizzuto suggested that managing could be done better from high above the baseball field--from the level of the broadcasting booth.

Torre replied, "Upstairs, you can’t look into their eyes." In Jesus Christ, God also chose to come down onto the field and look into our eyes.
