As a Rangers fan, this makes me really happy.  As a Stanford grad, though, ugh.  Hinch is surely the current title holder for "most embarrassing Stanford alum."

Is this like a title belt? Who had it previously? I'd guess Elizabeth Holmes, but I dunno. Maybe one of those fake sailing kids, if any graduated?

Well, there is the former placekicker (https://www.sfgate.com/sports/article/Th...090351.php, which should probably involve a trigger warning of some sort).

There's also Jonathan Martin, though in his case there are a lot of complex issues and likely some mental illness which makes it more tragic than embarrassing.

With regards to Hinch, sign stealing is as old as the game.  Not to say that leading a systemic effort to steal signs doesn't merit a suspension, but as TC noted, there's a whole host of similar stuff that has happened in the NFL that merited little more than a slap in the wrist (Phogge also forgot inflategate).

Hinch was just fired by the Astros.
