That kind of player, that kind of stuff, is a cancer in the locker room and steadily destroys a team. More MLB managers should have the gumption that Bobby Cox had when he took over the Toronto Blue Jays in 1982 and put an end to the silly contract perks. Cox was reported to have told Cliff Johnson and others "I don't care what your contract says. That horsecrap (personal limousine to the game rather than the team bus) ends right now if you want to
play for this team."
