THE UNION CHIEF AND HIS SIDEKICK ORZA MUST GOThere is an outcry to oust Fehr as the union chief and replace him with someone who cares for the welfare of the players and baseball. As he is booted out of the office, his sidekick Gene Orza should follow suit. His arrogance is not doing the Major League any good. He was cornered at a Mets game last month and asked by the media to comment on the state of baseball and what he plans to do about it he evades the questions with a refusal to answer. This speaks a lot about how much he cares about the union. The steroids controversy has placed him in hot waters because of all people in the MLB he should have been the one to know that the players had been doping.

There had been suggestions on who should replace Fehr as the union chief. One is Hank Aaron who had an exemplary performance during his baseball career.

From The Daily News:

Even if he were only a figurehead who would surround himself with lawyers and accountants, baseball needs people like Aaron to let fans trust the game again.

He would be a logical replacement as commissioner as well, except Aaron would have the most to gain by striking Barry Bonds from the record books and re-establishing himself as baseball’s home run king. Better to let someone else make that call.

Therefore, let us do the next best thing and put Aaron in charge of rebuilding the tattered image of the union.

Orza is responsible for the mess why Alex Rodriguez’s results leaked to the press. When the random drug testing was done the MLB players were promised that the evidence would be destroyed but not soon enough for the media to get hold of them. Now the FBI is going to subpoena the results and more names are going to come out. Could this be the end of for some of the players’ careers?

Marvin Miller, the former executive director of the MLB, said that they should not have submitted to the drug testing. This simply means that the union does not care what the Congress thinks, leadership is not going to change, and they had not feeling of regret or remorse.
