I never said every player or every former player loves him. But the same can be said of every coach/mgr at every level.
The guys I know for the most part respect him a lot and most really like him.

And I'm telling you a whole other side. There is a guy in the Cardinals clubhouse today who wouldn't piss on LaRussa's burning body. Another player's exact quote to me was that the moment one "realized Tony is only about Tony, the sooner he's tolerable." Both are well liked in the clubhouse.
Will there be players that like and dislike managers? You betcha. But there are many that flat out can't stand the guy. Doesn't detract from his record, which is a whole other story, nor should it knock him off your pedestal. Pretending you're the only person who has ever spoken to a major leaguer is just crazy.
