Being the juvenile sort that journalism attracts - myself included - our Internet guru Mark LaMonica was so smitten with our record-setting 15-way call of Hank Steinbrenner that he decided to have a vote of which person, cartoon character or fictional character looks most like "Baby Boss."
Among the possibilities: NBA coach George Karl, Archie Bunker, Wade Phillips, Droopy Dawg, Frankenstein.
People, you have outdone yourselves. Thank you. But you're not done. It's time to vote for the official "What About Bob?" lookalike winner so we can put it on the horse trailer. You've got until 6 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 13 to vote. Vote as many times as you want. Get your friends to vote. Get your parents. Get Neil Best to vote! We'll announce the winner on Friday morning, just as soon as La Monica sends me the official results.
(If my Sunday editor is reading this, please note that my copy will be hopelessly late tonight.)
(UPDATE: My Sunday editor did, in fact, read this post, and has not made any report about insubordination. The editor, whom we affectionately refer to as ChicagoNorm because he's ... uh ... from Chicawgo, as he likes to pronounce it, is actually gonna give this blog post a plug in the Sunday paper. So it looks like we'll be getting a few more look-a-like votes for our poll.)

bob,the proper term to use is the juvenille journalist.of course i voted for myself,i am just juvenille.
thanks for defending me, jeffp. juvenile is much more acceptable than immature, at least at my age.
You're both right. Juvenile is a better word. I'm immature, too, but in this case, juvenile works.
i could use the excuse that i am so anxious to post that i type to fast and do not check my spelling,.but i can not.juvenile with 2 els,(just kidding)i have to be more careful before i go out in public.
By the way, "What About Bob?" Is on TBS right now.
kf-nothing gets by you.
KF:
That's why I can no longer in good conscience use "What About Bob" as my blog moniker. It belongs to Bill Murray.
I wanna say Marge Schott (especially with the cigarette) because that one cracked me up, but I'd have to go with George Karl. Karl doesn't have that bad, 1952 bare-knuckle boxer haircut, but in the face, they could pass for brothers.
