Shame on Sal Rossi and the A's for what they did to Laszlo Szabo-Nagy. And bless the noble hearts of those in the Red Sox for helping him. The Commander may not have become the player he should have been, but his recovery is an inspiration to all of us.

And in the end, there's little doubt that Sal Rossi was one of the most selfish and destructive players and managers in the game's history.

You must know my grandfather-in-law. On my honeymoon in Hungary, he was constantly pouring wine down my throat. It's all a big blur.
