Tony LaRussa, racist. /s

I hope he's prepared himself for the (*^&storm coming his way.

WhoRay - I only wish he where a Catholic Cardinal.

Here's a similar story about Phil Jackson:

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!

Good on ya, Tony! One for the Good Guys.

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.

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!
