Asleep At the Wheel - Baseball Manager Edition
No, this is not a post about Grady Little.
Tony La Russa was found at a traffic light, asleep at the wheel, last night. He was charged with misdemeanor DUI.
Now, for a Frog public service announcement: hire a car, get a cab, have a friend, hell, pass out on the floor wherever you are. There is no excuse for a DUI. None. Look, I drink as much as the next guy. OK, more. I have also been able to put myself in a position to have a ride or to stay where I am when I am drinking and I haven't got the resources that a guy like La Russa has. You think he couldn't have made a call and some Spring Training flunkie would have driven and picked his drunk ass up? With the jack he's probably making, he could have afforded a stretch hummer while getting a hummer and humming the tune to "Take Me Out To the Ballgame" and not been hurt in the wallet.
Seriously, watch out for yourself, because you're really watching out for others when you do.
