Mad Dogs and Democrats
|
No sooner had the president met with
baseball Hall-of-Famers today and announced he would throw out the
first pitch at the St. Louis Cardinals home opener next week, than
Democrats rushed out a press release attacking Mr. Bush for baseball
trades he made years ago as managing partner of the Texas Rangers.
Specifically, Democrats cited trading
slugger Sammy Sosa to the Chicago White Sox in 1989,
and said firing manager Bobby Valentine in 1992 and trading
pitcher Robb Nen in 1993 -- "resulted in" their new teams going to the
World Series. Brit Hume

I thought general managers made trades, not minority owners.
