Tony LaRussa, manager of the National League All-Star team, today announced that embattled ball boy, Scooter Libby, despite overwhelming fan requests, would not be appearing in this year's game. LaRussa cited Libby's slow recovery from reconstructive knee surgery - the result of long hours kneeling while clutching leather balls - as the reason.
Cosita, a one-year old bitch now serving time in the ARF league, was selected to replace Scooter and be next to LaRussa's side for next Tuesday's game.
