It comes as no surprise that Allan Malamud thinks Terry Cooney should have been ejected rather than Roger Clemens. Anyone who saw the slo-mo replay of Clemens’ outburst knows that it would have gotten Clemens’ lights punched out in any self-respecting neighborhood bar.
Malamud, however, seems unable to handle an idea that can’t be expressed in 25 words or less and probably couldn’t comprehend Grantland Rice’s timeless couplet: “When the One Great Scorer comes to mark against your name, He won’t remember whether you won or lost, but how you played the game.”
Roger Clemens may have more talent than Dave Stewart, but when it comes to class, it is strictly no contest.
