Tony La Russa is unfirable and he knows it

The St. Louis Cardinals are bringing back Todd Wellemeyer, and Tony La Russa doesn’t care what you think of that.

From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch:

To those who might have thought La Russa had lost his mind in trying to recycle the disappointing Wellemeyer, La Russa smiled and said, “If they want to have that opinion, they can have it.”

La Russa is unfazed by criticism of Wellemeyer

Through Wellemeyer’s last start on Jul. 26 (a 9-2 loss to the Phillies), Wellemeyer had compiled a 7-9 record, with a 5.67 ERA and a 1.75 WHIP

About Me

When I was fifteen, my baseball coach condemned me to a stands-bound life. "Graham, you're a pretty good fielder," he said. "But unfortunately it's easier to teach kids how to field than it is to show them how to hit." Stung by this unceremonious end to my baseball career, I trained my crosshairs on his breed. Over time, I have come to realize that he isn't unique, American sports are full of coaches just like him....

Recently, I have written weekly Yankee columns for the Bronx News Network blog, articles for the Norwood News, a Bronx newspaper, as well as Sumter, SC's newspaper, The Item. I am currently a Master's candidate at the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism.
