Bob Laterza may be the most Staten Island man of all time.
While that did happen, it wasn’t exactly how he envisioned.
This article reads like something straight out of The Onion.
(S Live) While Yankees players DJ LeMahieu and Tim Hill showed up – not many others did.
99 ignored the youths bellowing his name from some 10 to 20 feet away.
To a degree I get his frustration.
Later on though, they did link up with Cole, Nestor, Jasson Dominguez, and Boone.
Sounds like a sick day to be a kid if you ask me.
I’m aware Gerrit Cole isn’t Aaron Judge, but come on that’s awesome.
Not enough for Laterza however.
They start em' young over there.
How about turning around or wave to New York and the kids that think youre a hero?
They are the ones who pay your salary.
They were disappointed, he added.
Maybe hell want to make up for it and come and see them.
People forget without Staten Island Little League there’s no $360M contract for the Yankees' captain.
I’m curious, are these children willing to shell out some cash for Soto as well?
Asking for a friend.
Seems like this tyrant’s anger is misplaced.
Shift that hate towards whatever little league official promised you Judge and botched where he was going to be.
Seems like plenty of kids got to hang with 99.
The best part of this Laterza tirade came when he didn’t recognize David Cone.
He says hey coach Bob, how you doing?
I didnt know who he was, he knew who I was, laughed Laterza.
Hes a nice man.
Out of place, out of mind, I was like who are you?
Guy had no time for Conie.
Might as well have been the groundskeeper.
Keep it movin' fella, we’re here for the big guy.
Staten Island, little league baseball, older coach, anti-Yankees.
You couldn’t build a more perfect Rico guy in a lab if you tried.
I didn’t see Bosco in the office today.
