that, at least, is understandable


I'm not sure what to make of the penultimate line of that article:

You wanna put me on TV, before the great unwashed masses? Then I'll spell out anything you like.


It is absurdly arrogant, to the point I feel like it must be some kind of joke... only what is the joke?

What on Earth is arrogant about it? He's saying if he's on TV and some of his audience aren't baseball fans (which would be the case), then he'd spell out what some terms mean.

He shouldn't have to do that on a baseball site.

They asked Ozzie about this on tonight's pregame. I couldn't understand a damn thing he said in his answer.

More people watched the last game of the world series than watched Monday football. But the most popular sport in america, ball room dancing featuring sort of famous people was watched by more than both.

I hope Brian Wilson's career follows the same path as Jeff Reardon's. Especially post-baseball
