Alone in the waiting area, who should wander through but the entire '94 Blue Jays team, led by Cito Gaston. The thing that struck me was that Cito had this aura about him - he was one of the most in-control people I've ever seen. He radiated cool.<br /><br />Always liked Cito.<br /><br />One thing he was always criticized for as a manager was that he tended to stick to "his guys" too long. Worked great when they busted out of whatever slump they were in, looked awful when they didn't. A radio guy speculated that he did this because of what had happened to Cito the player, though I've never figured out precisely what that was. Maybe Cito figured, as he became a platoon player and eventually a bit part, that if someone had stuck with him, he'd have rediscovered 1970 again.1967ershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13145022218460291801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1986621680116407176.post-70987885865785309342012-02-08T21:02:04.957-05:002012-02-08T21:02:04.957-05:00I look forward to this every MWF.
