OK, let’s start with this: Tony La Russa is 77 years old. This might happen to anyone that age, and whatever, it happens.
But La Russa is still managing the Chicago White Sox. This probably can’t happen, Hall of Famer or not.
A camera that was on La Russa in the middle of Chicago’s 2-1 loss to the Kansas City Royals showed the manager’s eyes fluttering closed before he did that thing where you realize it and get yourself awake.
No word on what happened after that, but everyone noticed and definitely thought he was falling asleep on the job (which would add on to some of the weird things that we’ve seen from La Russa this year).
