Joe Maddon has been officially installed as the Angels’ next manager and my new tattoo has completely healed. While otherwise unrelated, Arte Moreno and I had plans that enabled me to pull off a fun social media gimmick. I had initially figured the pursuit of Maddon would be much quicker, so the joke ended up being a longer play than intended.
You see, I wanted to get a tattoo to commemorate my daughter Addison’s impending stay at Shriners Hospital for Children in St. Louis. Her congenital scoliosis had finally worsened to the point that surgical correction was necessary.
