St. Louis Cardinals' outfielder So Taguchi bends his head for manager Tony LaRussa's midseason lice check. "Few teams do it anymore," said LaRussa, "but we think it's a healthy thing for our players." LaRussa revived the practice this season, noting that he freqently checks his dogs for fleas and ticks.
"Thank you Tony for offering more playing time than my slightly above average defense and poor offense deserves. Every now and then I will reward you but mostly, I will be woefully inadequate", said So Taguchi.
