Take me out to the ballgame so I can sue your ass.
Tony LaRussa is the manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, but not the Tony La Russa posting on twitter. So Tony is suing twitter "claiming an unauthorized page that used his name to make light of drunken driving and two Cardinals pitchers who died damaged his reputation and caused emotional distress."

He was found drunk and asleep behind the wheel of an SUV with its engine running. I don't think he needs help damaging his reputation. And his butthurt comes with lawyers.

LaRussa did try to have the account removed but got nowhere until he filed suit.

Huh, really? I know of at least two imposter (impostor? God, I never know which one it should be) accounts that were handed over to the real person.

This is an interesting situation in that while Tony doesn't Twitter himself, at least two beat writers and one Cardinal do. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch/STLTODAY.com seem to be a bit ahead of the technology toy curve.

I'd imagine someone discovered the imposter, asked him about it, and that got the ball rolling.
