I recall someone writing that it was Billy Martin's basic paranoia which made such a great manager.
He was such a paranoid individual, that he was assumed every manager was going the extra mile to beat him. This caused him to constantly go through every strategy another manager might use to win any situation...way past the point of seeming absurdity.
By the time a situation came up, Martin had already thought it through a million times.
