LaRUSSA HIRES McGWIRE IN SHOW OF LOWERCASE-UPPERCASE-AMERICAN SOLIDARITY, FACES QUESTIONING ABOUT McCRAE


Hey Mark, where did you get that milk? Andre Agassi's friend Slim, responds McGwire.


Mark McGwire has been named the St. Louis Cardinals hitting coach for the 2010-2011 Major League Baseball season. Strangely enough, when asked about the reasons behind his choice of McGwire, Tony LaRussa said, "it is based on the United States current climate of change. I feel guys like us, Mark and I, have been victimized for too long now for lowercase and uppercase letters in our last names. Reporters are always asking us ' how do you spell that again' and 'why is one letter a lower case and the other is upper case?'" When asked about his decision to fire lowercase-uppercase-American Hal McCrae, LaRussa cited his recent marriage to a woman who refused to take McCrae's last name. "I told him not to go through with it" LaRussa lamented. "He should have more respect for our struggle."
