True
But he wasn’t seeking admission as a manager!
Two separate and distinct inductions. We can all say he did or didn’t and we weren’t in those discussions when MLB tried to ‘mitigate’ the situation....yes, the same MLB that prospered (knowingly) in the steroid era. He didn’t want to make the deal with the devil. The devil...in this case, the unscrupulous MLB. More deals have been done with that devil....that the devil now has carpal tunnel syndrome!*
