Mike LaCoss, a former MLB All-Star, is not a fan of first-year San Francisco Giants manager Tony Vitello - or the team’s president and CEO Larry Baer
LaCoss, who pitched for the Giants from 1986-91 and was an All-Star with the Cincinnati Reds in 1979, called into a San Francisco radio station to say the hiring of the former Tennessee coach who had no MLB experience was a “slap in the face” hire.
“The hiring of the college guy, don’t you think that’s kind of a slap in the face to all of the minor league managers in professional baseball and all of the bench coaches in Major League Baseball that think about becoming a major league manager?”
