At his introductory news conference as the Phillies’ manager Thursday, Gabe Kapler wore the toasty glow of a man who, as he has blogged, favors the anti-aging and moisturizing powers of coconut oil. His skin had the sheen of a Hollywood head shot and the shade of a mocha latte. To anyone who had visited his website, Kaplifestyle.com; caught him on Fox Sports; or seen one of several photos of him posing shirtless; his physical appearance was not a surprise. His thoughts on other non-baseball matters shouldn’t have been, either.
Such as Steven Spielberg.
