One of the unassailable laws of Baltimore sports fandom is this: Cito sucks. That would be Cito as in former Blue Jays manager Cito Gaston, who, as the AL All-Star Game manager in 1993, did not use Orioles pitcher Mike Mussina in the game, despite it being hosted at Oriole Park at Camden Yards.
That’s not the only reason why Cito sucks. It’s not even the first reason, chronologically, why Cito sucks, because Gaston happened to be at the helm of the 1989 Blue Jays team that knocked the Why Not? Orioles out of postseason contention in the final weekend of that season by winning two out of three games, edging the O’s in the division by a mere two games.
