I gave you more than 50 options from all aspects of baseball as well as other sports, politics, entertainment, etc.. Pick one, Pen Foe.

I don't get it. I scanned the list three times and didn't find the name Hawk Harrelson.

I was hoping to #VoteHendry, but in his absence (and Torre's) I'm sticking to the thread title and going with George Will.

I chose Pete Rose.  His first act will be to review his own case, determine that he did indeed gamble on baseball and uphold his own suspension.

SWERVE!

I wouldn't be surprised if it was La Russa. Lifetime achievement and all that, and DID YOU KNOW HE WENT TO LAW SCHOOL??? INTERESTING/WEIRD!

I'm hoping the P.R. hit from having McGwire and Canseco's manager policing the PED enforcement would make this a non-starter. After Selig's laissez faire 90s and aughts they have to at least pretend like they give a shit.

I'm kind of surprised to not see Torre listed, though I think his main problem is the fact that he's 73 right now.

Hmm, TJ actually left off Bob Brenly, who might actually take the time to write down the unwritten rules of baseball so everybody finally knows what they are.

And he is still breathing?  Amazing.
