The Powers That Be Failed Us Once Again
St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Josh Hancock was drunk at the time of his fatal accident, and marijuana was found in the sport utility vehicle he was driving.
Police Chief Joe Mokwa also said at a news conference Friday that the 29-year-old Hancock was speaking on a cell phone at about the time of the crash early Sunday on Interstate 64 in St. Louis.
If the MEDIA, Cardinals management, Bud Selig, and St. Louis fans took serious action against Tony LaRussa in spring, it is very likely that Josh Hancock would not have been killed driving while intoxicated.
Granted, Hancock already lived that lifestyle, however if LaRussa had been punished, perhaps…perhaps…Hancock would not have been so reckless.
If the MEDIA looked down upon LaRussa instead of defending him…if the Cardinals suspended him…if LaRussa had spoken against it or actually managed the off-the-field behavior of his players, Hancock would still be alive.
Amazing how so much craziness happens to players that work for LaRussa. It begs the question: how could LaRussa be a good example or lecture his players about reckless behavior, when he is a drunkard who could have killed himself, innocent pedestrians, and animals?

It would only be hypocritical if he owns a SUV and didn't give it up when he asks everyone else to do so. What does the size of house he lives in have to do with a sport utility vehicle?

You said it — if LaRussa had been appropriately punished, Hancock may have thought twice about his behavior.

LaRussa has a crazy track record … from managing players that sparked the steroid era of baseball, shutting out Ozzie Smith … and now this.
Seriously — the ownership at St. Louis needs to clean house. The GM, manager, and staff HAVE TO GO.
