    MLB Network said that employees had to be vaccinated by September 1 or else they couldn't do in-studio work.

    Agree that something is up, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's because he refused to take the vaccine.

    Ah, okay. Thank you for that.

    Refusal and concern are two different things. I only just got the 1st shot, but I was managing work from home since the very beginning. But the potential new job may require in person work and does require the vax.

    If there's proof the guy is anti-vax, then go to town on him. Otherwise wait for actual information.

    Exactly. We still have a clear picture of the situation.

    Everyone should hate the Yankees, every day, all the time.

    There's no way that Smoltz isn't antivaxx. He hates all forms of progression and you know he polishes his balls to photos of 45. I'm embarrassed that that guy was ever my favorite player.

    Smoltz I can kind of understand, but I never expected Leiter to be antivaxx.

    Never meet your heroes. I learned that the hard way when I was 13 and Ryne Sandberg said "fuck off, kid" to me when I asked for an autograph after batting practice one day in 1997.

    Leiter was, as I recall, a hardcore Trumper and part of Chris Christie's campaigns. He's as nutter as they come.

    He is a fifty year old man who would’ve been at the front of the line because of who he is, if he wanted the shot. Lots of MLB players and staff have gotten vaccinated with little to no side effects.

    Dude is a nutter.

    I'm a 50+ year old man who wouldn't have been anywhere near the front of the line, but with underlying health issues that made me leery of even the very rare side effects. I've seen a lot more information now and like I said, I wasn't in a place where I had to get the vax until now.

    I'm one shot down.

    If you're in your hidey-hole with little to no human contact, then you can probably gamble with not getting the shot with precautions when you do interact with others. A professional baseball announcer? I'd have signed up day one for the shot, there would've been no fucking around. YMMV.

    Pretty much how it's been for me. 1 weekly trip to WalMart in the early morning and maybe a trip to any given drive-thru a few times a month.

    There's been a lot of stupidity in sports obviously.

    Privilege. It's all about privilege. Those dudes don't have to walk into Walmart for their groceries.

    ...and if they get sick they will skip to the front of the line for the best care because they are "special".

    So part of the owners proposal to the players has no service time, instead everyone waits till age 29.5 to be a free agent, you know when their best years are probably behind them.

    That's gotta be DOA even more so then the salary floor/cap.
