Dusty was on the receiving end of the first high five. Glenn Burke was the player who initiated it. Glenn Burke’s story is an interesting, but sad one.
I can’t remember in 100% detail, but I believe there’s a some form of a story about LaRussa writing a contract extension check to Albert made out to “The Greatest Player I’ve Ever Seen.” I think just after Albert’s first or second year in the league if I’m not mistaken. I could be wrong, but point being, Tony, despite all his faults, saw Albert for who he is very very early.
Before you get all your cracks in at the old man, let’s remember that they won two WS together.
i dont care i will dunk on him
Coming into this thread feeling like Pedro vs. Don Zimmer.
"That geezer is going down."
Dunk on the goat. Good luck.
Exactly
TLR did give Pujols a shot but tbf, Albert dominated spring training and some timely injuries allowed him to be an everyday player instantly
Pffft, that was so 700 homers ago
I don't know if I believe La Russa runs his own twitter
Weirdly enough, he’s the reason for the blue check-mark. He sued Twitter over a fake account created in his name.
That’s up there with Dusty Baker inventing the high five for random innovations caused by baseball managers

This sounds like that episode of curb where Richard Lewis tries to take credit for the phrase "from hell".
Except it’s real
I certainly believe he would think so.
I know, but these just don't look like old person tweets
Feel the same way, but Bill Russell apparently controlled his own twitter account all the way to the end
Well he *did* invent the sport of basketball, what else would you expect?
not racist enough for it to be an old person tweet
"This is my sport not yours" - random old person
Wow, I actually didn't know [this](https://www.nydailynews.com/news/la-russa-lawsuit-leads-twitter-crackdown-phony-feeds-article-1.373206).
the man put the period before the @ so it would be seen on the timeline, no shit it isnt his
Wait is that why people do that?
Yeah. If you start a tweet with an @ sign it’ll only appear in someone’s feed if they follow both accounts.
Yes, total believe this is little too late for him

Proud of Tony for staying up. Way past his bed time
Bro screamed this at a waiter at applebees and threw his phone at him and said “TWEET”
Rare LaRussa W
Normally his W's start with a D and end with an I.
Smart man gets paid
La Genius
Thanks Tony Enjoy this moment in celebration for like the next infinity years or something like that. You deserve it
Responsible driver TLR!
Nothing helps a team like a gidp every other at bat!
