Well, this debacle came across the wires yesterday, and shows that Rob Manfred continues to want to cover up for his favorites and the like.
Tony LaRussa was named the manager of the Chicago White Sox last week -- with open knowledge by the White Sox and MLB that he got dinged for DUI back in February...
... as a repeat offender. (Though the jurisdiction he was hit with this year does not declare his first in 2007 causing a repeat offender status.)
February 24, LaRussa was hit with a DUI charge for failing field sobriety, being argumentative, and refusing an alcohol test, forcing the officers to get a search warrant to take blood.
And Manfred's cool with it.
So are the White Sox.
This should actually be at least a 60-game suspension, especially because, unlike the law, MLB can and SHOULD view this as repeat offender status with respect to DUI.
But this is Manfred-Ball. And when Manfred doesn't get his way, he's not happy.
