I’m starting to worry that MLB is giving us way too many reasons to be happy before the season begins. First Jon Miller and Joe Morgan and now Bob Watson. I feel like we’re getting set up for something ridiculous like the playoffs starting in August and ending in December. But, for now, I’ll take the good news.
Bob Watson, MLB vice president of rules and on-field operations, announced Tuesday that he will retire at the end of the year, ending 45 years in baseball as a player coach and executive.
Maybe this means no more fashion police? Maybe this means no more lopsided punishments? Maybe now they will put someone in the position who cares more about getting things right than about how MLB will look? Maybe there will be someone in there who won’t cater to the New York Yankees?
Ahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
I crack myself up.
See ya, Yankee Bob. I hope Terry Francona spikes his green tea today in celebrating your retirement.
