In all seriousness, this would be a great quality to have as a manager if that’s something he’d be interested in

I would just like to point out that apparently Judge Rosemarie Aquilina writes crime novels and we should all buy them

This further cements Marvin Miller’s status as the Best Person Ever for Sports and further makes it criminal insanity that he’s not in the Baseball Hall of Fame.

I mean, I was joking, but like, can you maybe think of some event that occurred that would make Jews nervous about anti-semitism? Like, something that happened in the last century or so?

And also I’m from New Jersey.
