When you're married as long as I've been, you eventually get to the year when it's tradition to buy a Shawn Green Starting Lineup figure as a gift. #cardsky

Around 25 years ago when Piniella was managing the Mariners, a co-worker tagged along with my boss to cover Seattle's game in Toronto. When they came back someone asked for his thoughts on Piniella. Co-worker: "There's a man who does not take care of himself."
amandalc.bsky.social Amanda Lane Cumming @amandalc.bsky.social · 4d
I'd somehow never noticed this in Lou Piniella's biography before, but this made me laugh. Perfect Lou content.
Lou's All-Red-Ass Team CATCHER: RICK DEMPSEY-Got his red-ass start with the Yankees with the Pfister Hotel fight with Bill Sudakis in Milwaukee in 1974, then was greatly influenced by Earl Weaver in Baltimore in the art of ballbreaking. FIRST BASE: DAVID SEGUI-He got the red-ass from both sides of the plate. Set records for throwing helmets when I had him in Seattle from '98 to '99. SECOND BASE: BRET BOONE-Booney makes two of my all-time teams. Not only was he a productive hitter and elite second baseman, but when he didn't come through at times, the whole dugout heard about it. SHORTSTOP: RICK BURLESON-There was a reason they called him the Rooster. Prided himself on his fiery intensity. THIRD BASE: CHRIS SABO-He made me laugh with his tirades. Very unpredictable. You never knew when he was going to go off at some- thing. RIGHT FIELD: PAUL O'NEILL-He reminded me a lot of myself, but he was more talented. When it came to being a red-ass, he could do it all. CENTER FIELD: MILTON BRADLEY-This was one red-ass I didn't find funny. Had a perpetual chip on his shoulder. Thought everyone was out to get him and set records everywhere he went for ill-conceived clubhouse tirades. LEFT FIELD: LOU PINIELLA-Can't leave myself off this team. I'm quite proud of it. DESIGNATED HITTER: ALEX JOHNSON-Boy, could he hit, but had ma- jor temper issues-fights with managers, coaches, teammates, sportswriters-that got him traded five times and sold once. RIGHT-HANDED PITCHER: CARLOS ZAMBRANO-He could be captain of this team. Seemed like he was good for at least two meltdowns a year with the Cubs. He could pitch, but he was really exasperating. LEFT-HANDED PITCHER: TED LILLY-Don't be fooled by the choirboy face. He had quite a temper if things didn't go his way on the mound and wasn't averse to taking it out on a watercooler or two. CLOSER: ROB DIBBLE-See: our clubhouse wrestling match in 1992.
