Trivia: Who Stopped MJ from wearing #23 on the Sox?

Since the Rangers are going to stop showing clips of Robin Ventura's most memorable moment in his playing career, I have to keep showing it.
The Original RG was in town this week. We had to argue a little sports and cheer on Nana and the Jordynaires softball squad since only Barack could resolve our serious argument about the Chicago G8. One argument ended in a quick draw, that of nature vs. nurture on why doesn't Jay Cutler throw like a girl. I defer to this article in the Atlantic by James Fallows for the answer.
The other dispute was over Robin Ventura as Ozzie's [who makes an appearance at 0:17 in the video] replacement. I defer to Nolan Ryan there. It is agreed that baseball managers don't do much, and maybe anyone could do it. The thing is, I watch managers do the one thing they have to nail, change pitchers, poorly, I know I could do better, but some are masterful and deserving of the blackbelts they carry. Robin Ventura is a crapshoot, when a guy like Bobby Valentine was in the minors has a track record that is measurable statistically. I can even see hiring a proven winner as a player, but Ventura underachieved statistically and disgraced the number 23 in his one big emotional moment when Nolan took pummeling practice on his melon. Personally, I would go with Jim Riggleman who would be in the same price range as Robin. We'll see by the All-Star break if Ventura is still the tomato can he was back when Nolan Ryan won one for the geezers. I'm an instant fan if he goes into the stands after the nearly 100 year old Ryan. That could top the disco demolition!
