アスレティックス監督解雇 ２

マッカ監督は1982～1985年に助っ人として、中日でプレーしていた。
監督解雇の理由は、選手とのコミュニーケーションが悪いことと、負傷選手に冷たい態度とESPNで報じている。
控え捕手には、"He didn't even speak to me for well over the last month. For me, as a backup, all I want is communication. Every other coach, I get along with great, but with Macha, it is not an exaggeration to say he doesn't speak to me -- not 'Hi,' not anything.
"It's tough to go to work every day knowing you're working for someone who doesn't think much of you as a player and on top of that, doesn't even acknowledge you."
負傷選手には、he responded to an injury to second baseman Mark Ellis' broken finger with: "It's part of the game. A lot of people get hurt."

ワールドシリーズで優勝しても解雇は決定していたのかも。
