Good point. That can of worms is not going to have the lid removed.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
All right, whoever had -1 days in the "'how long it will take before TLR does something embarrassing" contest, come and collect your prize.

I will broker no disdain of Bill Veeck, even though Disco Demolition Night was a wild misfire and a few of the stories in Veeck as in Wreck have been proven to be completely false. Dude was a master showman and introduced a lot of things that we take for granted nowadays (fireworks after a win, for example).
I loved Bill Veeck and those scrapie Chi-sox teams that he put together, he was Charlie Finley before Charlie even had a clue.
Now, if only the Chi-Sox can figure out how to put an Eddie Gaedel into the line-up....
I still have an 80's Chi-Sox cap in my collection.
He'd put Jose Altuve in.....
The sad part is, if Gaedel was to bat in today's game, the umps would still use a standard strike zone.

He pretty much just scorched his career in MLB, and probably any other lucrative jobs.
From Jeff Passan:
Keep on giving, Tony.
Yeah, Luhnow clearly decided he never wants to work in baseball again and figured he can get "fuck you" money from a lawsuit settlement.

Literally all he had to do was to show some contrition like Hinch and perhaps he wouldn't be a pariah.
It's such a dumb story, too, because even if you believe him, it reflects incredibly poorly on his leadership abilities. This isn't like, for example, "One guy on the team took PED's and I didn't realize it" or something, this is "There was a complex sign stealing operation involving over half the players, the bench coach, and a setup in the clubhouse to steal signs (using a sign-decrypting algorithm the front office developed) that the manager was also aware and not happy about, and somehow I was completely in the dark about this for an entire season."
To borrow a line from our president-elect, "C'mon, man."
We've been there for the past 10+ years, at least, if not longer.
Miami Marlins hire Kim Ng as MLB's first female general manager
Cue the hand-wringing (is it hand-wringing?). There's been whiners in the MLB chat I modded that would never stfu about female baseball announcers having no business calling baseball games. This should give them well deserved strokes.
The only problem here is, the Marlins over-acheived quite a bit this year and are probably due for a regression no matter what.
