And I bet it isn't me.
I was looking through some old news on the St. Louis PD earlier today, where I found this gem from a Rick Hummel article. Usually when I post things like this, I end up making fun of the author. But in this case, Rick didn't do anything wrong. However, Lou Susman almost did. And I think he should be institutionalized for it:
McCarver revealed that he had been offered a chance to be Cardinals general manager in 1985 by Lou Susman, who was running the Cardinals’ front office at that point. But McCarver said he just had signed a four-year extension to continue as one of the New York Mets’ broadcasters.
Tim McCarver. Being a GM. For a Major League Baseball team. Predicted record: 20-142.
