Former MLB pitcher Jack McDowell on Friday accused Hall of Fame manager Tony La Russa of instituting an illegal sign-stealing system for the Chicago White Sox in the 1980s.

Speaking with WFNZ-AM radio in Charlotte, McDowell said of the alleged White Sox scheme in the late ’80s: “Gatorade sign out in right-center had a light. There was a switch in the manager’s office and a camera zoomed in on the catcher, OK? I’m going to whistle-blow this. I’m getting tired of this crap. There was that. Tony La Russa was the one who put it in.”

McDowell pitched for the White Sox from 1987 until 1994, and thus never played for La Russa, who was fired by Chicago during the 1986 season and moved on to the Oakland Athletics, with whom he won the 1989 World Series. The famed skipper also won the World Series in 2006 and 2011 with the St. Louis Cardinals. He was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2014.

"The Gatorade sign out in center had a light; there was a toggle switch in the manager's office and [a] camera zoomed in on the catcher.

"I'm gonna whistle-blow this now because I'm getting tired of this crap. There was that -- Tony La Russa is the one who put it in. ... He's still in the game making half a million, you know? No one is going to go after that. It's just, this stuff is getting old where they target certain guys and let other people off the hook."

Quote:

McDowell alleged in the radio interview that the next day's starting pitcher would sit in the manager's office, watch the catcher's signals and would alert White Sox batters with the light in the Gatorade sign.

"I've never said anything about the old system we had because once we got to new Comiskey [in 1991], I didn't know if there was one or not," said McDowell,

Everyone has been caught stealing signs for 1000s of years from little league on up. The dumbasses are the ones who know their signs are being stolen and still get pwned.

Burghurt has to be on a roller coaster. Going from getting Yoan and Kopech, then injury, then playoffs, then Loldrussa is wavy AF.

TLRs wording reminds me of a former manager at the bar my brother owns. He got a DUI, and the first thing he said when the cop walked to his door was "I own a bar". Dude didn't even own it lol

Freeman is a likable player. Braves +1200 is still crazy compared to Doyer +400 and Yankee+550. Who the **** do the Yankees have other than Cole and Lurch?

The red Sox will overpay Archer.
The Mets will blow a hundred million and win 78 games. Complete discord by July 18.
Kris Davis will regress to .242.
John Smoltz will ignore modern baseball again.
Tim McCarther will pass.

Overpay Archer? You mean by giving him a major league deal for three million?
