Just three days after leading his team to a World Series victory, Tony La Russa resigned from the St. Louis Cardinals today. The skipper came under fire for mocking Texas Rangers Manager Ron Washington at a Halloween party over the weekend.
“I didn’t have a problem with Tony dressing up as Ron,” explained Cardinals General Manager John Mozeliak. “I just think that fashioning a crack pipe out of a hollowed-out bat shows poor taste.”
The Rangers’ manager, who tested positive for cocaine in 2010, told OMGG.com he thinks baseball personnel are held to an unfair standard when it comes to Halloween.
“Fans even spit at me when they saw my costume,” said Washington, who went to a party in Arlington on Saturday dressed as David Freese.
