Baseball Manager Sports Message on Wrist

Posted On: March 5, 2011 at 8:59 a.m.

As a gift from a sick friend, baseball manager Willie Randolph wears a rubber wristband that sports the phrase “Got Guts” on it. It is a reminder to him about the way he could or should run his team. “Willie Randolph occasionally fiddled with a blue rubber wristband that said “Got Guts.” It was given to him by Joey Goldberg, an ailing friend. When Randolph is seeking inspiration, like now, he looks at the message and thinks about Goldberg. Sometimes, Randolph wonders if he should wear other wristbands, ones with the words “Got Passion” and “Got Toughness” and “Got Intensity.” He has watched the Mets play raggedly, has watched the Philadelphia Phillies crawl closer to first place and has heard the mounting criticism of his subdued managerial style. “If someone said things about your personality that you knew were wrong, how would you feel about it?” Randolph said Tuesday. “I hear people say, ‘Why didn’t you knock over a table?’ Why are you assuming that I didn’t?” What phrase would you wear on your wrist if you were a baseball coach. Or, what phrase do you already wear?
