When the news came down about Fred Wilpon being put in charge of the MLB's Finance Committee people immediately reacted with shock and disbelief that incoming commissioner Rob Manfred would voluntarily put the Madoff-scandal plagued owner of the Mets into such a critical position. It seemed hypocrisy at its worst, with Wilpon repeatedly using "ignorance" as his justification for allowing the Madoff mess to fester.
By now the incredulity has had some time to take root and begs the question, what other appointments might Manfred make that could be even more surprising given the new appointee's history:
Fritz
Peterson and Mike Kekich Lecturing on the Sanctity of Marriage
David
Cone Speaking on Public Decency
Mo Vaughn on Proper Diet & Nutrition
Pete
Rose on the Evils of Gambling
Karim
Garcia and Shane Spencer on Rest Room Sanitation Protocols
Tony
La Russa on the Importance of a Designated Driver
Steve
Howe on Staying Clean & Sober
Kevin
Mitchell on Preventing Animal Cruelty
Darryl
Strawberry on Spousal Respect
Maybe Wilpon in charge of Finances isn't the worst thing that could happen after all.

Funny. Wonder if the Wilpons will pass the bar?
Interesting, of all of them, Darryl really changed. Now a minister, I was surprised when a guy I met told me that Darryl was the minister for his marriage a few years ago. So spousal respect has probably gone up several notches with the Straw Man.
As Bob Dylan once wrote, "Sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace."
