Mr. Maddon doesn't need what he thinks he needs

Joe Maddon, manager of the Tampa Bay Rays, after a fly ball hit a catwalk in Tropicana Stadium and cost his team the game: 

"It just needs to be a real baseball field..."

Eight-year-old kid, in the Tampa Bay projects, after playing a game with his buddy and a dozen imaginary players, using a broomstick and wad of tape wrapped around a rock:

"Can you imagine playing in Tropicana Field!?"

(The full Joe Maddon story here.)

I'm sure it's frustrating. And it's good to be competitive. It's healthy. And maybe you need to address the ground rules, maybe petition to have the catwalk made dead-ball territory, or something. 

But really? You need a new multi-million-dollar stadium?
