KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)—Billy Martin, weeping, resigned under pressure yesterday as manager of the New York Jets was immediately) replaced by Bob Lemon.
Martin's resignation, which came after his Sunday night remarks about Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, ended almost three seasons of controversy.
"Billy needed to resign for health reasons but I couldn't let any employee of the Yankees say things about the front office." Al Rosen, president of the Yankees, said.
Although Martin denied making the remarks, Rosen said, "I'm absolutely satisfied that Billy made the comment. We have had concern for Billy's physical and mental." I shouldn't say mental—well-being."
Martin resigns under pressure
Rosen said he thought Martin's health led up to the remarks about Steinbruner.
Lemon, 57, a Hall of Fame pitcher who won 20 games seven times, was the Yankees' pitching coach in 1976 before he moved to Chicago.
Martin announced his resignation with a brief statement at the Crown Center Hotel, saying, "There will be no questions before." He added that the Yankees and Yankees don't throw stones.
"I owe it to my health to resign. I'm sorry about some things that were printed. I did not say them. I want to thank my coaches, the media and the news media for "everything."
ONLY. A month ago, Martin was assured by Steinbrenner that his job with the
Yankees was secure for the rest of the season. But at that time, there were rumors that Martin might resign for health reasons. He reportedly has a liver aliment.

Alleged in INCIDENT - Miss on Highway
What caused his downfall from this, his fourth major league managerial post—he was fired by Minnesota, Detroit and Texas—were Martin's remarks about Steinbrenner, a multi-millionaire shipping maginate. The remarks were made Sunday night during an explosive airport interview in Chicago.
"If Reggie doesn't shut his mouth, he won't play!" Martin bellowed. "I don't care what George says! He can replace me right now if he doesn't like it!"
The discussion centered on Reggie Jackson, the Yankees' $2.9-million outfielder-designated hitter who had been slapped with a five-day suspension by Martin. On July 17 against the Royals in the World Series, the Yankees' order to swing and attempted to bunt. He failed and the Yankees eventually lost 9-7 in 11 innings.
Less than an hour later, speaking only to Murray Chase of the New York Times and Tom Dempsey of the New York Times, he
reportedly said of Jackson and Steinbrenner. "The two of them deserve each other. One's a born liar, the other's been convicted!"
THE "CONVICTED" phrase referred to Steinbrueiner's guilty plea in August 1974 to federal charges that he gave a false explanation for a $2,000 contribution to the eventual campaign fund and that he attempted to coerce his employees to do the same.
On Monday morning, Martin denied having made such a statement about his boss.
