The mainstream must be bored or looking for anything to write about.
Read this one: Fred Wilpon trusted the wrong man in Bernie Madoff – Lee Jenkins – SI.com
In the fall of 2004, Wilpon hired Omar Minaya and Willie Randolph. While he was obviously swayed by their credentials, he could also appreciate a Latino general manager from Queens and an African-American manager from Brooklyn, uniting the city’s second team. They took the Mets to within one game of the World Series, and when it became clear in subsequent years that Minaya had lost his way, Wilpon struggled to make the change. Minaya grew up with the Mets. He joined the organization as a low-level staffer. He, too, was part of its roots.
I mean I kinda get it, but I’m not sure Willie and Omar were Madoff, and I tend to post half-baked premises three times a day myself but between Citi Field renaming and this…can we just play some baseball?
