I couldn't agree more, Tom. And Zim had the class to apologize profusely for it afterward. He realized he had gotten caught up in the moment and done a stupid thing.

I always like Zimmerman when he was the Red Sox skipper even though the never really accomplished much under him. In Boston we used to call him "The Gerbil" because the camera often would catch him chewing on sunflower seeds.
