Cardinals Manager LaRussa Comes Out in Favor of Tea Parties & Arizona Immigration Law
Gateway Pundit ^ | 6-30-10 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 06/30/2010 6:23:13 PM PDT by Justaham

Popular St. Louis Cardinals Manager Tony LaRussa came out in support of the tea party movement and the Arizona immigration law. Last night an excited group of St. Louis tea party patriots attended the Cardinal’s game here in town against the Arizona Diamondbacks. LaRussa said he supported the patriots after the game.

Tony LaRussa:

“This is America, right? You’re supposed to have opinions… I’m actually in support of what Arizona is doing. If the national government won’t fix your problem and you got a problem, you got to do fix it yourself.”

Right on.

You can talk smack about certain things in this town, but the Cardinals are not one of them. Tony knows he has plenty of backup. Anyone who wants to make a stink about this had better think twice about taking on St. Louis Tea Partiers, and the thousands of patriotic Missourians who silently stand behind them.

This is a bit surprising from the California-residing, vegetarian, with the liberal wife.

TLR has a bit of a rep as a flakey, Left Coast liberal among many St. Louisans.

Color this strident, life-long St. Louis Cardinals fan pleasantly surprised if not shocked,

Glenn Beck too? Wow!

“A. Pujols also presented with Beck with an autographed bat for his studio — I wonder if Albert is a conservative......”

#####

While he is very supportive of his native Dominican Republic, Albert and his wife are vigorous Christians and model Americans. They don’t do the hyphenated thing, or balkanize based on their minority status.

Based on the above and a few other observations, I’d say that yes, The Mon leans right.

It makes sense coming from LaRussa. He is one of the smartest head coaches in the history of baseball.

HOORAY Tony LaRussa! Tony LaRussa for President!

How many Illegals and Liberals buy season or even single game tickets for Cards’ games? That’s what I thought. The silent majority may finally be clearing its throat.

I heard someone say that Phil Jackson made a similar comment, although I haven’t seen the quote myself.

This isn't the sort of thing a manager or player does without approval of his team's ownership. I suspect we may see more announcements like this, perhaps to the point that sports reporters’ hackneyed interviews may include a political question or two.

Play ball!
