Growing up in St. Louis in the ‘70’s and ‘80’s, I will always be a Cardinals fan. My only beef with La Russa is how he treated Ozzie Smith, who deserved to finish his career as he wanted. I do agree that the player should be called out, he disregarded the sign, lucked out by hitting a HR and thought it made himself look good. I think that sports should demonstrate the good in people not show that one player or team can embarrass another. One should play hard, respect your opponent and shake hands afterward.
