Bianca LaRussa: Tony LaRussa’s Daughter Is a Raiders Cheerleader

I use the images above as exhibit A, B, and C to reach the following verdict: Tony La Russa may be one of the ugliest people on this planet we call Earth. I'm sorry to put it that bluntly, but a fact is a fact. There has been more than one time that I've been watching a Cardinals game, they've cut to the dugout, and I've had to stop eating a sandwich. I don't blame the guy, as drinking a crap-ton of liquor, yelling at umps, and spending the summers baking in the sun does little to aid one's complexion.

Still, you can imagine my surprise when I came across this picture:

Pretty attractive, no? Brace yourselves...it's Tony La Russa's DAUGHTER!

Oh, wait, you garnered that from the title of this post? Crap. I should have thought of that.

Oh well, too lazy to change it now.

Apparently Bianca La Russa has tried out to be an Oakland Raiders cheerleader and is going to be named to their dance squad this year. Doing a quick google image search of Bianca La Russa, I am floored this person came from Tony La Russa's family tree and no one knew about it. It's like finding out Dudley Moore's daughter is Brooklyn Decker, or Steven Tyler's daughter is....Liv Tyler...well, you get the point.

Here are more images of Bianca. Credit her mom:

Bianca La Russa: Tony La Russa’s Daughter Is a Raiders Cheerleader

“A goal and a dream come true- I’m a 2011 Raiderette! I’m so excited to rep an organization that does so much good.”

I’m not sure about the “so much good” part, but she sure does seem excited!

Bianca, who goes by Bianca Tai, surprised her father and the family by trying out for the Oakland Raiders cheerleaders…and actually making the squad. She apparently has a pretty extensive background in dance.

Congrats to Bianca on becoming the newest member of the Raider Nation.

Bianca LaRussa, welcome to the Oakland Raider family. Tony LaRussa's tenure as an Oakland A's manager brought a lot of good to Oakland. He led the A's to three straight World Series appearances and won one of them. And even though LaRussa's last season as manager in Oakland was 1995 that tenure is still bearing Bay Area fruits.

And now I know I have something in common with Bianca. We are both huge fans of the Raiders because of all the good they have done for pussycats. I am sure many of you are here for the same reason, right?

Okay, okay you got me. I had no idea the Raiders had done anything cats, dogs, birds or any other animals. However, I will admit that as my Raider fanhood matured to adolescence I did have a passing interest in the Raiderettes. So here is to a story rekindling that "interest" and providing a welcome break from the legal mumbo-jumbo of the bickerings of rich people. Jump over for some lil' LaRussa pics.
