What was more difficult for White Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf, firing vice president Ken Williams and general manager Rick Hahn on Tuesday or knowing it would look like he caved in to public pressure by doing so?
If I were a betting man, I’d put all my money on the latter. It had to kill Reinsdorf that all of us — and I mean everyone with any baseball common sense and/or a pulse — picked up on the obvious a long time ago: The Sox’ rebuild was a total failure, and somebody had to pay.
