Keith Hernandez: Women Out of Dugouts

Mets broadcaster Keith Hernandez's comments that women "don't belong in the dugout" drew criticism Sunday from Padres manager Bruce Bochy, who supported the female member of his training staff and said he was surprised it even came up.

Hernandez made the remarks during the second inning of New York's 8-1 victory in San Diego on Saturday night. Mike Piazza homered for the Padres and exchanged a high-five in the dugout with Kelly Calabrese, a full-time massage therapist for San Diego.

"Who is the girl in the dugout, with the long hair?" Hernandez said during the broadcast. "What's going on here? You have got to be kidding me. Only player personnel in the dugout."

"I won't say that women belong in the kitchen, but they don't belong in the dugout," Hernandez said.

Uh, Keith? Why are you even broaching this subject? First off - your going to get killed in the press no matter how you spin this and secondly - maybe you should have kept drugs out of the Mets clubhouse when you played...or is that okay with you?

So far, Keith has been a great analyst, and has worked well with Gary Cohen on SNY, but Keith, please watch what you say.
