As a fan of baseball, the Cardinals, and the man himself, I sincerely wish him and his family nothing but the best. His wife, Jeanine, has been involved in a well-documented fight with [...]

I’m guessing that most of you saw Tony La Russa on The Late Show with David Letterman and David Freese on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno last night when they aired, but for those looking for a one-stop shop to view both, here you go. Tony and Dave (CBS edited their video, this isn’t [...]
