On Tuesday, it was great opportunity to get out there and enjoy some holiday season hoops.

Eppler almost hired Showalter in Anaheim and has ties to Espada from their days in the Yankees organization. They were the first two names reported on Sunday by Heyman, maybe that was intentional, maybe not.
