Sounds Like Tony La Russa’s Work to Me
You may remember the other night when the Cincinnati Reds clinched the 2010 National League Central Division. They were happy, the fans were happy. There was champagne and beer spraying all over the clubhouse. Oh, and some victory cigars were passed out by Orlando Cabrera, too.
Apparently, some killjoys with a knowledge of Ohio state law phoned in some complaints upon seeing those stogeys.
Five people called a statewide smoking ban complaint hotline, Merz said. Those complaints were sent to the city health department today for investigation. [Bob] Castellini will get letter soon notifying him of the alleged violation.
Now, the Reds get to look forward to having a health inspector come within 30 days.
It does make you wonder, though, if one cranky, unpleasant manager in the Central with a law degree might have been watching and been one of those 5 callers.
