Denial, it's not just a river in Egypt
When Walt Jocketty was hired as a special assistant to the owner of the Reds the handwriting was on the wall. Wayne Krivsky refused to look. When he was fired, Wayne Krivsky refused to comprehend it. And now though Wayne is officially unemployed he still can't let go. Almost sounds like stalking. From HOF Hal McCoy:
Wayne Krivsky is finding it difficult to sever his ties with the Cincinnati Reds after he was fired and says, "I must be crazy because I hope the Reds win every game the rest of the year and I still get on-line every morning to check how the minor-league teams did."
And before he fades into the woodwork, Krivsky wants to clear a few things off his desk and his mind.
One of the things he wants known is that Dusty Baker was his choice to manage the Reds and he told owner Bob Castellini at the time, "Dusty Baker is my man and he is the guy for the job." And Krivsky added, "It was my recommendation and Bob agreed."
