Ha! More likely they'd interview Tommy Lasorda.

The Cards bought the Diablos in August. There was a brief blurb about it

When they should be interviewing the Hale already =in= the organization.....

Who seems to be well on his way to using his resume as the basis for a
sequel to "Quills".

Who should acclimate culturally quite well to the Valley (well, the east
side, anyway); best friend outside of baseball? Rush Limbaugh.

Who has insisted for years that he doesn't really =want= to manage, and has
a history of resisting efforts within the Angels' organization to consider
taking the top field job (except on a very interim basis several years
back).

> Al Pedrique

Heh.

> Will they interview Bob Brenly?

Not for a field job, but if Steve Stone doesn't want to work out here,
Brenly's old broadcasting job is his for the taking. Supposedly. (Then

new digs in Malibu already....)
