Good satire, but in all honesty Sheffield is not the grumpy-I-think-everyone-is-racist guy that people make him out to be. I've met him 4 or 5 times over his career(before he came to the Yankees) and he is really a friendly guy> He can definitely get passionate and has a temper, but he always took time to sign autographs for me and let us take pictures with him. So don't be too hard on the guy.

It's a joke, dude. Funny...get it?

Learn to read. Get it?

"Good satire" is what I said, and it was. But satire is usually based on perceptions and Sheff is perceived as a grumpy bastard who is not fun to be around. I was correcting that perception.

I think the humor is lost on those that take themselves too seriously. It's meant to be enjoyed while not standing on a soapbox. I'm sure he's a swell guy. Great. But the story is still funny.
