A significant percentage of genius talent are asswipes. Whoop-de-fooking-do. I'm never going to hang with any of them, so I don't give a crud.
Ted Williams....check.
Ty Cobb......check.
Babe Ruth....check.
Pete Rose....yeppers.
Mickey Mantle.....yep.
Steve Carlton....indeedy.
The list is endless. Indeed, the king of sabermetrics, Bill James, can come off as an asswipe. His wrongheaded, ignorant lambasting of Dick Allen has given the wrong impression of this great player to a multitude of readers. Sloppy research is thine name Mr. "Pete Rose is Innocent" James.
