The Best Manager in Baseball, and the Best Coach in Basketball both agree on Arizona.
Baseball managers (good ones anyway) are problem solvers by nature...not bureaucratic or political ninnies. If a guy proves he can get the other side out in the ninth, then he’s the closer (he does the job), doesn’t matter if throws 95 or 75 mph.
Tony’s gonna take some heat for this.
So I guess it’s a safe bet that we won’t be seeing Los Cardinals jerseys.
Tony has always been active in the community - specifically with ARF (Animal Rescue Foundation) which he founded 20+ years ago. The Cardinals have had a “puppies in the park” day the last few years because of him. People who are against Arizona have an agenda. Period. There is no reason to be against a state enforcing the law. None. If the law is unjust then you just need to find enough people who agree with you, but last I checked it was 80% of the population wanted this problem resolved once and for all.
Tony is not standing out from the crowd on these comments. I would venture to say anyone who isn’t profiting from illegals or who doesn’t just parrot whatever line they hear on some left website. But as a Cardinal fan and a conservative, it’s nice that he didn’t just take the easy way and pass it off. His stock just went up in my book.
Bill Veeck knew a good man when he saw one
As a lifelong fan of the Redbirds, I am proud of Tony today.
Tony LaRussa is awesome..
but.. I hope the Cardinals sit home in October.
GO REDS...
This is very good to hear. He lives in California and probably sees it first hand.
I still wish we had a different coach. I supported him until 2 years ago. I have a lot of issues with him.
Don’t flame me.....free speech LOL
A good Tampa boy who hasn’t forgotten his roots. Tony played high school baseball at Jefferson at the same time his good friend Lou Pinella was playing for Jesuit. Both were sons of legal immigrants.
