Alex Cintron prevented the Cardinals from reaching and probably winning the World Series in 2002 when he injured Scott Rolen in one of the stupidest base running gaffes I have even seen. With Pujols and Edmonds, Rolen had combined to carry the Cardinals offense most of the season. (They were called the MV3). When he got hurt, I think he was on the roster for the NLCS with the Giants but didn't play, but it was too much to overcome, the air went out of the balloon, which had carried them since DK's death

@elijahcason1 4 месяца назад

Those two were legends- I’m not even sure there’s anyone actively coaching that comes close to those guys, they don’t exactly grow on trees. I don’t fault them for not having 2 guys like that to step right up and follow, the issue I have is they refuse to think outside the box anymore. They used to be front runners around that time in innovation to make up for their lessor budget than the big markets, whether it be scouting, drafting and developing or being ahead of the game analytically. They stick to the same format now, passed and approved by DeWitt. DeWitt had more passion back then as an owner I believe bc he had the task of making a profit on his investment by bringing fans back to the stadium after the horrible 90s. Now that he’s exponentially multiplied his investment- he become complacent with what he thinks he can spend compared to the attendance for the most profit. It’s become more of a business for this franchise these days and less passion from the front office.

@user-cf8ju4eg3r Месяц назад

Though a good manager, but surely no angel of a man. Could not handle Ozzie Smith, brought in another shortstop (Royce Clayton) when Ozzie was not ready to retire, stated whoever played better in Spring Training, Smith had better batting average and fewer errors in Spring Training, still started Royce Clayton, pushed Smith to retire. How did Royce Clayton end up? Ozzie would not step in the Cardinal stadium until La Russa left the city. Also walked out on his first wife and two daughters (kept out of press for years and still today), who threatened lawsuits for never mentioning them in his book and killed the movie version of "August Nights." Several drunk driving arrests and the ground zero managers of the steroid boys: Mark McGuire, Canseco, Rickey Henderson, Tony Phillips, and Dennis Eckersley. Tony has a very dark side; tell the whole story!

@Fryerfaith 4 месяца назад

Let’s face it steroid save the game of baseball. There’s no doubt about it. As far as I’m concerned all the steroid players should be in the Hall of Fame because anybody that plays baseball knows that taking steroids really gives you no advantage except for strength if use the proper way. It’s all hand coordination And having a great swing and they all had everyone of those traits I just mentioned.

@MrRicklynch57 4 месяца назад

Joe Buck is spineless. If he were interviewing Bonds he would try to grind him the whole interview over steroids. LaRusa was the biggest pill pusher in MLB history and he doesn’t even mention it. Please interview Artie Lange again. Also this is what is hypocritical about baseball. Bonds, McGwire, Canseco, Clemens, all not even allowed to the table of the Hall of Fame, yet Selig and LaRusa are in. No wonder no one likes baseball anymore.

Disappointing interview: not much on Tony’s worse aspects; the kinda racism he showed throughout his career, the stories that he cheated during his time as the white Sox’s manager back in the 80s, his culpability on the e steroid era (personally I don’t think that’s as much of a a deal), and of course his tenure as the white Sox’s manager the second time where he demanded his players play the game the “white” way and he humiliated the organization forgetting the rules and getting drunk.

@Joseph-lz5er 3 месяца назад

He's half Spanish and Italian. He's white?

@bradhorowitz2765 3 месяца назад

I specifically mentioned the "white"way. The informal codes that players for most of the game's hsitory used to stop celebrations-celebrations and antics that mostly black/Hispanic players used. Go back and look at reporters covering the times a player was knocked down, or criticized for not "being normal" and said person was probably not white. Jose Fernandez, cc Sabathia, tim Anderson, etc. When satchel paige joined the league, he had an assortment of fun pitches he had developed during his time in the negro leagues; mlb then began banning his pitches aside from the normal" ones.

@mheff28 2 месяца назад

LaRussa is the most overrated manager in WS history. He was a punk that always starting trouble to disrupt his opponents. His best players were steroid enhanced. No character at all. When he managed the White Sox, he left them in a shambles. BOTH TIMES!!

@Wanderlust598 21 день назад

The White Soxs were a joke before and after he left. He won more World Series managing teams after testing was implemented than before.
