Rich,
If you do not understand what it means to want to go unnoticed by players and coaches then I can't help you. Froemming's a legend and some of his quotes are among the most memorable in baseball. The one you displayed is just as easily countered by his tasteless reference to a MLB executive as a "dumb Jew *****". Look it up before and see for yourself. His quotes don't carry the same meaning since I first heard that related to a group of us by an ex-MLB umpire. Still, I admire what he did on the field and I hope he gets in the Hall some day. Froemming worked to be noticed and he was.

Bigger than the game means, "Hey look at me." Bruce did this well. Milt Pappas agrees.

Sorry, but I won't take the bait on the matter of ejecting coaches for what they did prior to a contemporary incident. Best of luck this season.
