Valley of the Dolls
I think Deadspin has the best take on the blow up dolls in the White Sox locker room:
Guillen, of course, defended the shrine, saying "I'm sure it wasn't done to disrespect anyone. . . A lot of worse things happen in the clubhouse. . . If people got their feelings hurt because of that . . . they don't really know much about baseball."
Duly noted. He is right about that. There was a time when struggling baseball teams used real live women in the locker room as slump-busting shrines.
If you ever meet Dave Campbell, ask him about the first time he met Mickey Mantle.
Ozzie filled the doll up with hot air from just one invective laden postgame speech.
Wait, am I given to understand that a group of 20-30 year old men are acting like juveniles?
Clemens said he was never near the doll!! Howver, McNamee clamied he injected it during a road trip.
