  • Absolute Affirmation in La Russa HOF Induction
    Absolute affirmation in La Russa HOF induction By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Tuesday, July 22nd, 2014 When Tony La Russa delivers his Hall of Fame acceptance speech in Cooperstown, he may experience his most relaxed moment of the past 35 years, in contrast to the butterflies and emotion felt by many inductees as they speak.
