... this is the way to do it. First Tony La Russa gets a tattoo celebrating the Cardinals' World Series championship, now this. What's happening with this guy?
La Russa has always been, in my opinion, a class act. He's been around for a long time, and I've never heard anything negative about him.
According to the ESPN story, the fans gave him a standing ovation when he walked onto the field today. Perhaps they were cheering because Tony successfully followed the first rule of drunk driving, which states: whenever possible, fall asleep at the wheel while waiting at a traffic light so no one gets hurt.
Cheering for Tony? A bit overboard. But letting the incident slide (not criminally) without permanently tarnishing his reputation? I can go for that.

Kevin lets not forget that we are innocent until proven guilty.
Never been a LaRussa fan, since he seems to pretty much think he's the greatest coach on God's green earth. Have you read Moneyball yet? (If not, I would definitely suggest it). He pretty much said "screw you" to Billy Beane's new methods and wouldn't listen to him. Anyway, if the car was running then he should get a DUI. I think that's a pretty acceptable rule, no?
And on that note, I find it very telling of MLB's priorities when they launch a full-on investigation of steriods (which is basically a witchhunt for Barry), but a DUI, much more potentially deadly, (no matter whether he was stopped at a stoplight or if he was moving) will basically go unnoticed and he'll get mostly a slap on the wrist. Pathetic.
