Unbelievable.
But then, it is San Francisco, after all.
For some reason, the San Francisco Giants first year manager, Tony Vitello, couldn’t figure out that his outfielders’ post-victory celebratory ritual was inappropriate in a public venue, on TV, while playing America’s Pastime in front of family audiences.
The Commissioner’s office finally told them to cut it out. Why it took until May, I have no idea.
I would have fined the manager, the players and the team. A lot.
Morons.
Anyone want to play “Custer’s Revenge?”
It’s a lack of respect for the tradition and the game…that’s what bugs me the most. I don’t know if fining the players or the manager solves fixes this. But if the players involved still have options, a trip to the minors – and its bus rides and (by comparison) lousy pay – for a refresher on respect might just do the trick.
