The Chicago Cubs took a lot of heat in the media for the firing of Rick Renteria prior to bringing in Joe Maddon. Many knew what Maddon was capable of, and Renteria simply didn’t have the track record yet to sway them in his direction. The team made the unpopular move of firing Renteria–who had done a fine job and was well like–in order to hire Maddon. Now, a year later, cooler heads have prevailed, and Renteria is still a class act.
Be slow to anger.
