UPDATE: Turns out it was Roger McDowell, former New York Mets closer and second spitter on the grassy knoll. He issued a written apology for the instance in question. McDowell is currently a pitching coach with the Atlanta Braves, and while he’s not a manager and that makes this less fun, it’s still not cool to make gay slurs. And thus we end another very special With Leather moment of tolerance.
At 4 PM Eastern and 1 PM Left Coast, famed attention-seeker with a law degree Gloria Allred will hold a press conference to out a Major League Baseball manager as a meanie pants. In what can only be described as shocking and wholly unexpected news, Allred claims that a manager referred to a trio of male fans as pejorative terms for homosexuals. That’s right – the other F-word. To make matters worse, one of the men had his twin daughters with him and this unnamed manager told them that the ballpark was no place for kids. Finally, someone says what I’m thinking. Not that F-word part, though.
According to TMZ:
One of the fans, who brought his 9-year-old twin girls to the game, protested to the coach … and according to Allred, the coach responded by saying, “Kids don’t f**king belong at the baseball park.” She also claims the coach then approached the father “with threatening words and a baseball bat.”
Allred will hold a news conference with the father and his twins at her L.A. office on Wednesday at 1 PM PDT.
TMZ will also be live-streaming the news conference for anyone who cares and you don’t care so just keep watching Boy Meets World on Hulu. But this will be talked about plenty in the coming weeks and it could possibly even mean the manager’s job should the heat become serious enough that MLB and team executives would have to act. In that case, the New York Mets have their fingers crossed.
In all seriousness, let’s start the odds machine and the guessing game. Even money says it’s Ozzie Guillen, who is undoubtedly the first manager we all thought of because he’s already been busted for calling someone a f*g. I could see Buck Showalter or Dusty Baker being cranky enough to fire back at some fans, and maybe even Tony LaRussa if they woke him up. Joe Maddon is way too hip to hate on the gays and he probably would have ordered them a round of cosmos and gone shopping for fingerless batting gloves after the game. It can’t be Terry Francona because people in Boston use f*g as a cordial greeting. It couldn’t have been Marlins manager Edwin Rodriguez because these were people attending a baseball game. Man, your guess is as good as mine.


I was really hoping that “fucking lawyers” tag led to a bunch of very boring pornography.
Boy Meets World is on Hulu?
I love that she’s pictured here filming the ending to 2001.
My money is on Ned Yost calling the Royals a “bunch of Kansas City F*ggots”
It’s more wishful thinking, Chad.
Count me as another that instantly went to Hulu to see if Boy Meets World is there. Curses.
Its gotta be Guillen. Though you would wonder why they would temporarily withhold the name if it was so obvious…
let it be joe girardi let it be joe girardi let it be joe girardi
Actually Brandon, I think this picture was excluded from the new X-Men: First Class poster campaign.
Is there any chance that this is a smoking issue and the manager in question is just an Anglophile? Perhaps his position is that children should not be at the ballpark if cigarettes are involved.
Or maybe he was taken over by Marge Schott’s ghost.
I don’t even remember who the Mets hired, but if there’s going to be an expensive lawsuit here, odds are it’s against the Mets.
Come on, Charlie Manuel! I believe in you!
@ Brandon,
To be fair Ned had a lot of track that needed to be laid.
We all know this is going to be Brad Mills. People just wont stop talking about Brad Mills.
It couldn’t have been Marlins manager Edwin Rodriguez because these were people attending a baseball game.

Eliminates Clint Hurdle of the Pirates as well. I’m gonna take LaRussa.
Don’t ever change 1986 Mets
So much for my “ghost of Ty Cobb” theory…
“I didn’t say that because I thought they were gay, I said it because they were acting like faggots.”
Roger McDowell, my hero…
Funny that its McDowell.
Both he and Keith Hernandez were everyones choice for closet queen,..
