The @Cardinals’ promotion of Oliver Marmol was expected from the minute they had fired Mike Shildt.
That says a lot about Bill DeWitt Jr., John Mozeliak & Michael Girsch.
They are handing over the keys to one of America’s premier franchises to a young, Dominican American
History shows that Latinos & Blacks usually have to start their managerial careers at losing organizations not ready to win or past their winning windows. Alex Cora was a rare example. Now Marmol is another one.
By promoting Marmol, the #Cardinals are making franchise history.

(Thread) Every Sept. 13, there comes a time when I want to cry, want to shake somebody. On this day in 1985, I was excited about attending my first high school football game. Lynwood vs. Compton. I was only 13.
It was Friday 13th. My dad got off work & asked me to go with him.
2/ We needed to finish registering players for our soccer team ahead of that Saturday's game. I was a speedy forward. We drove to the soccer league's offices in L.A. The league president forgot the keys, so all the coaches waited outside & chatted. I waited in the truck.
