I think George worked for a day or two (with me) at the Cumberland mall chick fil a—it is a short walk way now from the ole ball park. Sorts like coming back to the place he never left. It has to happen yeah?
Your assessment raises my opinion of Lombard. Someone who has played professional baseball but knows what struggle means (e.g. Bobby Cox, Tom Lasorda, Brian Snitker) seem to be better managers than former stars. I still think Weiss is a good choice - not having to spend spring training trying to learn and assess players, which Lombard would have to do, is an advantage.

100% yes. However I can’t say we think alike on this one because you put this idea in my head a few months ago and then I started looking into him.
Lombard
Ross
Gibbons (I’m assuming Hefner would be coming with him)
🫵🏻HA! I knew you would make the right choice! (Still reading, just got through the intro)
