FIRST, WE GO BACK
The death of Willie Mays this week is a reminder that then-baseball commissioner and Duty Village Idiot Bowie Kuhn had once banned Mays and Mickey Mantle from the game for life, thereby proving that wearing short sleeves to a frigid World Series game in 1976 wasn’t as stupid as he could get.
And now, Major League Baseball under Current Village Idiot Rob Manfred is out to prove that Kuhn may have been dumb — but the level of greed of team owners these days surpasses dumbness on the scale of worthless human behavior by a long shot (see, a betting term).
