    Yes, but all he did was let it happen. Now, don't get me wrong, turning your head is just as bad, but he wasn't the ring leader or anything. For that reason, he can remain my personal hero

    Sounds a little double standard-ish from your opinion of whether Cora should be rehired. I get it. We tend to defend our favorites more fiercely than we would defend others, but if he cheated, which he did, then he cheated. Cora cheated and is serving a one year suspension. At least he is serving some sort of punishment for his wrongdoing.

    You could argue we're all serving a punishment by having the season delayed LOL

    I'm not opposed to Cora getting rehired, I just don't think he will. First of all, we fired him. Of course the cause for termination has been proved to be moot, but a firing is still a firing. It's pretty hard to just forget about that. Additionally, when he comes out of the suspension, he's essentially a free agent. It's not like we own the rights to him, and it's not like he'll automatically want to come back to the Sox, assuming we even want him, which I don't think is a guarantee. Too many moving parts, at least right now. I want to see how much the players and front office like Roenicke first.

    I don't like him because he went to UConn. I like him because he's become the role model for stuttering. It seems like he had it worse than I do when he was a kid, and he beat it, so it gives me hope. Mine's much better, but still rears it's ugly head on occasion. He's not that much older than me, so I hope my day is coming soon

    Well that is something Mr. Springer accomplished without any help from his Astros’ teammates and something that isn’t marred by any scandals.

    James Earl Jones and Isaac Newton are also excellent role models for stutterers..


    And Nick Ahmed is really, really underrated as a baseball player...

    I think it was at one point, maybe earlier in his career
