That was the speech of a true class act in admiration of a competitor.


Strong disagree. He was the coach who called the wrong base to Hanover back in 2010 to score a Mississippi State run. Total bush league play. Unforgivable for me. You can believe what you want about him.

"Mainieri said the game tape clearly shows that Mangione moved "50-60 feet" down the right field line and stood behind Hanover yelling "2-2-2-2" as Hanover received a throw from rightfielder Mikie Mahtook. Mahtook had retrieved the ball after a double into the corner by Ryan Duffy in the sixth inning. That influenced Hanover to hesitate to look at second base before throwing home to try and get the baserunner, Luke Adkins, who scored on the play."

I have long thought the same about him that he's a bush league douchebag. But in fairness that was 14 years ago. He was only 31 at the time. He seems to have grown up and matured a lot as a coach because the past few years anytime I've had the chance to listen to any of his interviews or press conferences he comes off the very opposite of that. I actually enjoy listening to him now and in this case he showed a ton of class and respect for both LSU and Jay Johnson.
