SAN JOSE _ While with the Montreal Expos a few years ago, Felipe Alou stumbled across some stray papers in the clubhouse. The Los Angeles Dodgers left town and accidentally left their scouting report behind.
"As it turned out, their manager at that time thought I was crazy. The scouting report said to expect anything at any time," Alou said Friday. "I don't seem aggressive, but when it comes to managing I am."
When the Giants formally introduced Alou as their next manager in a news conference at Pacific Bell Park, he vowed to stick to his high-octane approach. Alou, who turns 68 in May, noted that he is too old to change now anyhow.
"I'm not afraid to make mistakes," he said. "I've always felt if I'm going to go down, I'm going to go down on my own terms."
