June 2, 200520 yr Fred Mitchell [Trib] Piersall swinging from the heels June 2, 2005 Former big-league outfielder and White Sox color analyst Jimmy Piersall hasn't lost any of his zing at 75. During an extensive on-line interview on whitesoxinteractive.com, Piersall disparaged late White Sox owner Bill Veeck, former Sox manager Tony La Russa and current club Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf. Regarding Veeck, Piersall said: "He was a fraud. He never had any money to run the team with. Harry [Caray] didn't like him either." On La Russa: "La Russa acts real tough, but he isn't. … All I can say is Tony's real lucky he has had great players in Oakland and St. Louis because he is a terrible manager." Regarding Reinsdorf, who had Piersall fired as a broadcaster following several controversial comments: "If I saw Reinsdorf in an alley, I'd punch him right in the head."
June 2, 200520 yr Ahhh, the bitter ramblings of a disgruntled septagenarian.... Hey Jimmy, any other dead guys you want to voice posthumous opinions for? If Piersall tried to punch ANYONE in the head, his hand would probably turn to dust.

June 2, 200520 yr Ahhh, the joys of senior citizen bitterness. The only reason we hear about it is because he was famous (sorta). "My oatmeal is cold!" "This TV has nothing on!" "My Depends are chafing!" blah blah blah. :rolly
