60 Minutes Andy Rooney's baseball thoughts

[JackWhite]

A very interesting read by Andy Rooney. Interesting as in amazingly stupid. I can't believe they even printed this.

Among the gems:

"I'm still not interested in the game. I don't watch it on television or follow it in the newspaper. I know all about Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, but today's baseball stars are all guys named Rodriguez to me."

I am surprised he hasn't received some heat for this. One of the reasons he doesn't like baseball is because there are too many guys named "Rodriguez." Don Imus is wondering where the justice is.

A few others pearls of wisdom from Rooney:

"For example, the player who starts the game as pitcher should have to play all nine innings without a substitution. A pitcher hardly ever plays more than a few innings and then the manager replaces him with someone who isn't as good."

Here is another nice one:

"There are 30 major league baseball teams, but sometimes it seems as though the New York Yankees are the only team that ever wins the World Series."


Please put this man in the retirement home before he writes any more columns.
