Girardi getting fired for telling Loria to shut up mirrors the plot of the film Little Big League, in which the 12-year-old baseball savant, who inherits the Twins, is told by the manager to get lost. At least Loria did not make himself the manager, which the kid did. This is a very good baseball movie, if you haven't seen it, with a dozen or so real players playing themselves and others being in the cast.
