Baseball's Culture War
Paul DePodesta, general manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers, was fired today. As a poster child for the phenomenon of sabermetric-types infiltrating MLB front offices, there were people who wanted to see him succeed and people who wanted to see him fail (probably more of the latter).
Reading a message board about this news on baseballthinkfactory.org (I've said it before and I'll say it again: it's the place to go for baseball news, info, and humor), I felt like I was reading a message board about Scooter Libby's indictment or the uncertain fate of Karl Rove.
You can't go anywhere without some kind of "schism" or "cultural divide" staring you in the face.
