Baseball manager Tony LaRussa sues Twitter

ST. LOUIS (AP) — St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa is suing the social-networking site 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.

The suit filed last month in the Superior Court of California in San Francisco seeks unspecified damages.

La Russa had little to say about the suit.

“I’m not discussing it except to say that our foundation attorney is taking care of it,” the manager told The Associated Press.
