I have warned Nationals president of baseball operations and general manager Mike Rizzo that I want to talk about baseball executive fashion, so he is ready when I approach.
“I’m wearing my lucky jeans,” he says proudly.
This interview is off to a good start, I think. He’s wearing the pants he wore when he got the job running the Nationals in 2009, surely, or perhaps the ones he had on when they won the World Series in ’19. General managers really do think about their attire. This is a great story idea.
