    Oh is she the old bat waving Josh out of the dugout?

    Lucky bitch.

    Yes - she and Katey Feeney are the co czars of MLB.

    I hate that when those TV stage manager-types who physically touch people to let them know when to run out on the field. Ichiro froze her with a glare and she didn't even look at him.

    Then a kid ran into the dugout in the middle of the intros!

    I think its pretty unfair to trash Mays based on a few seconds of video. So he didn't immediately acknowledge Hamiltion, I'm betting his hearing aid was turned down because of the noise. If anyone was there and can say for a fact that Mays clearly "snubbed" Hamilton, then fine. If not, keep reporting about jockeys using electrical devices during horse races.

    She is not a TV stage manager, goalie. She is a MLB vice president for team relations ... i.e, liaison between MLB and teams for media etc.

    Maybe Willie was so jacked up on "red juice" he did not know where he was.

    Willie has been rather unpleasant to deal with for the last 50 years or so.

    Perfecting the basket catch has nothing to do with how many perceived "snubs" one metes out.

    He probably was just doing his best to converse with Fukodome and never knew Hamilton was there until later.

    How could anyone not know Hamilton's back story, every news outlet in the world has done a story on it

    I would not discount the possibility that Mays knows nothing of Hamilton's history.

    He would be the only one.
