LaRUSSA GOES BI
In one of the great moments in TV sports for reasons of cultural inclusion, Tony Larussa complies with Houston reporter Francisco's (SportsRap is efforting to get his name and affiliation)request to have Larussa comment in Spanish on his choice to use Mexican-born Jamie Garcia to start Game 2 of the series. Garcia rightly called it historic, mentioning Fernando Valenzuela in the same breath, saying that Larussa would be speaking to Hispanic baseball fans on both sides of the border. Larussa complied with competent, if not fluent, Spanish.

This is yet another feather in the cap of a man enjoying the pinnacle of a very difficult profession.
