Oliver Marmol wanted a bagel on Saturday morning. This is New York, so it should have been easy to get one. But this is also 2023, and Marmol manages the St. Louis Cardinals. Nothing comes easily.
“It didn’t work out,” Marmol said. “The line was outrageous. The door guy at the hotel said to just skip the line and walk in. I thought about it, maybe that’s a thing. I saw the line and I didn’t think that was the play.”
The way things are going, Marmol said, he might have provoked another customer and ended up in a fight.
