Gonna give a coach a the same suspension for a consensual relationship as you do a white owner for using the N word and harassing women all over the fucking front office?

Back in April, Greg Amsinger of MLB Network predicted Albert Pujols would hit his 700th home run in L.A. in September on a Friday night off Clayton Kershaw. He just hit 699 tonight. Kershaw pitches tomorrow.

Do you know what the deal with him and the press was? Ken Burns Baseball said they were at odds but never said why

I found the following and it sounds like the HBO documentary about Ted Williams is worth a watch:

It is not a secret that Williams was an ill-tempered, bitter jerk during his playing time. His relationship with the sports writers, and even fans, was well documented in the HBO documentary Ted Williams: There Goes the Greatest Hitter That Ever Lived. In the documentary they explain how the sports writers got too personal with Ted, which made him uncomfortable because, at the time, he was embarrassed about his upbringing. He responded by basically treating most reporters like crap throughout his career.

Wow what a hothead, I hope he found a way to cool off…
