Mussina really wasn’t a jerk.

He was just smarter than nearly everyone else in the room. That’s a Stanford education for you, I guess.

And, because of that, he didn’t feel the need to participate in idle chat or talk about things that really didn’t interest him. If you could engage HIM, he was motivated to talk. Otherwise, he wasn’t.

He’s involved in a lot of charitable endeavors in New York and in Montoursville, PA, where he lives.

That just sets the record straight – somewhat at least.

He wasn’t a chump. Not at all.

He just wasn’t a guy who enjoyed small talk in the locker room.

To borrow a line from “Fletch” — “he doesn’t say much, he just gives you that looooook…”

Bruce Cunningham and Mark Viviano both think he was an absolute jerk off the field. Much worse than Erik Bedard, apparently. Just a mean guy to people. It was apparent that it such an effort for Mussina to make it to fan events or charitable events. Seems like a chump to me.

I don’t give a shit about Mike Mussina, he’s a New York Yankees baseball player, not a Baltimore Orioles baseball player. I mean, right? We’re talking about a guy that plays for the Yankees, here.

I knew I’d be in the minority on this, actually. It’s funny how people read things that aren’t there though. I don’t recall disparaging the man on a personal level. All I’m saying is I have no particular desire to celebrate his Oriole-related accomplishments, because in my mind (and, I suspect, in the annals of history) he retires as a Yankee through and through.
