I met Tommy at a Branch Rickey awards dinner in Portsmouth Ohio when I was in high school. I liked him because he was driven and intense. The a**hole is more that he doesn't really give a sh*t about opinions, IMO(insert jokes here). Plus, he's been old for a long time and seemingly grumpy but, I think he's just geniune to who he is. Kind of like Pete Rose and he was a real a**hole. I despised living in Ohio for the years I did and I took it out on Pete by rooting against him.
Who did more for the game? Tommy or Pete?
