It’s (almost) officially Labor Day weekend. Get away from your computers, get out of the house, BBQ, stay safe if facing hurricane conditions and come away refreshed and pleased with a 1-0 Michigan team for the first time in what feels like forever and/or a Tigers team that after burning through pitching like wildfire in yesterday’s 13-inning win, rally to play some great ball against the Royals this weekend. Please (especially the first one).
Enjoy the holiday. I may or may not be active on twitter, in case you’re dying to get little kernels of GrandCards wisdom. The blog is almost certainly shut down until Monday.

I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s not so much that the modern, neo-narcissist
ballplayer is such an abysmal human being but rather that they suffer mightily in
comparison to the giants who came before them.
Thus, when we contemplate the antics of one Manny Ramirez, the
shenanigans that appear fairly predictable in our current times ultimately seem like
something far less than that when considered in some kind of historical context.
The playful anarchist in me wants to kind of surreptitiously applaud
his whimsical welcoming press conference when he insisted on having an interpreter
to translate his Spanish into something suitable for USA Today. But the old-timer
in me, who for reasons of good common sense is typically in charge, can’t shake the
realization that a Henry Aaron, or an Al Kaline or a Bob Gibson wouldn’t dream of
doing something so immature and disrespectful.
Disrespectful, I concede, is pretty harsh, but it’s that looming, omnipresent
respect for the game of Major League Baseball that seems to carry such enormous weight
with generations past and yet might be an afterthought to some of the modern guys.
While money can be blamed for a good deal of this mentality, I don’t
think it should be the only culprit listed. Virtually all of the modern stars have
been millionaires nearly from the time of voting age, and I think a pervasive sense
of entitlement is an inevitable byproduct of that.
That’s one of the reasons I like to latch onto when rooting for some
of the modern guys: finding that 21st-century slugger who brings with him some reverence
and acknowledgment of all that came before him.
I also think that there’s a huge, perhaps difficult to quantify but still
significant price to be paid by those who fall victim to the “me first” trappings
of the modern game.
While I suppose they would insist that such things make no difference
whatsoever to them as they bank their millions, I believe that their place in the
hallowed history of MLB will end up being something far different from what it is
for many of those from earlier generations.
Manny may just be the most visible practitioner of the antics, but I
don’t think history will look that fondly at a player of his admittedly staggering
talent being shunted from one team to team to another in such ignominious fashion.
That’s no way for a Hall of Famer to be remembered.
