There is a lot that goes into being the visitor’s clubhouse manager. I’ve read about a few different ones over the years. If you’re interested, @tdawg87, here is a write up on PHI’s visitor’s clubhouse guy and what the job entails. FWIW, Ryne Sandberg thanked CHC’s longtime clubhouse manager in his HoF speech.

that's a very cool article.  Those guys are pampered six ways from Sunday.  I wouldn't be surprised if there was a designated ass wiper.  what a racket.

I appreciate the effort but I'm just not going to read an article about clubhouse managers.

Now we know why Albert has struggled since coming to Angels.

So were they deflating the baseballs that the Angels kept failing to hit into the RF seats for all those years?

I am outraged!!! Did Bubba have insider help?

[Docwaukee]

after that, shrimpin' was easy.

@tdawg87I couldn't get the LAT article to open on my phone, but I read this one from ESPN which has some details. This story still doesn't make a lot of sense, and I was also surprised to learn that a "visiting Clubhouse manager" even exists. Wtf.

Bubba is a Dipoto asset.

He is a PIECE OF SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Angels getting fucked over internally is really on brand actually.   Extremely Angels shit.

At first I wasn't convinced, but then I saw all the exclamation marks and agreed with you.

Angels visiting team survey. 

 

We appreciate any feedback that you can provide on your teams recent visit to Angels Stadium. How was your visit?

”Terrific, your clubhouse manager was very courteous and extremely helpful. Thank you.”

I hope this isn’t taken away from him.

 

Harkins, a native of Anaheim, was named Visiting Clubhouse Manager of the Year by MLB equipment managers in 2005.

The Home clubhouse manager will be fired.

Seems MLB told the Angels.

Jeez, the Angels always seem like the last to know about stuff.

If they would’ve known he would’ve been working in the Angels clubhouse instead.

The Angels cheated......against themselves.

[Stradling]

Yea, I knew there was such thing as visiting and home team clubhouse managers and of course other attendants.  I also know that these guys, at least in the visiting clubhouse, get tipped by the players for taking care of their uniforms, the clubhouse and other tasks they are slated with.  My guess, and this is only a guess, is “Bubba” was getting pretty damn good tips for providing this for the pitchers on the visiting team.

There’s actually an ATM outside the visiting clubhouse specifically so the players can grab cash to tip the clubhouse manager. Dead serious.

I’m pretty sure that they gave Bubba a tip and left envelopes for both Cahill and Harvey.

It was just pine tar?

[gotbeer]

So the MLB should open an investigation., and punish all those teams that cheated by having them forfeit their next two years of first round picks.  It only seems fair.  Over the last 15 years, I think that would make 29 teams he helped cheat.

They will hire garbage can bangers for the Astros for games at Anaheim.

I'm officially blaming this situation for our suckage the last 5 years.
