Is Ed Rendell the Future of Baseball?
 |
One time when I was still in high school Ed Rendell, the former Philadelphia mayor and current Eagles Pre and Postgame Live analyst (I hear he’s got another job too) visited my campus to deliver a speech. Afterwards in the Q&A a student asked a two part question, the first part was relevant to the topic at hand the second was about the Eagles. Rendell’s eyes lit up and he tore into the second part, in depth.
Pennsylvania’s 45th governor has had a very public love for sports. He is knowledgeable about all the local teams (not peripherally either, dude knows his stuff), frequents the Palestra, and rarely if ever misses a big local event. I bring this all up because this note, tucked in at the end of Karen Heller’s column on the media’s love affair with Rendell is this note:
Rendell’s dream, friends say, is to be baseball commissioner.
Rendell’s term is up in two years and I, for one, heartily endorse this idea.
