The Rundown: Lee Elia Week, Last Dance Continues to Impress, Tensions Grow Between Owners and MLBPA

Wednesday is the 37th anniversary of the famous Lee Elia rant, a legendary diatribe that never gets tiresome, and Danny Rockett of the Son Ranto Podcast will be doing something unique to honor Elia with the help of his friends and listeners. That ties in nicely with my Monday morning commentary. Over the weekend I watched the documentary Loopers: The Caddie’s Long Walk, which is a wonderful history of the caddie/golfer relationship. That got me to thinking about the role of the bat boy in baseball.
