There was not a dry eye in the Houston Astros clubhouse today as word spread of Robin Ventura‘s dismissal as the team’s manager.
Despite the team’s recent woes, Ventura was widely respected.
“He was a real player’s manager, a real leader and mentor to so many of the guys on this club,” said one player.
Another player had the same sentiment. “Man, this ain’t right. I know baseball is a business, but Robin deserved better.”
