Not to make this an anti Yankee thing but growing up all I heard was they were the team with class all those championship years.  When in reality they had many steroid guys and others with awful behavior like this.  Jim Leyritz for example who killed someone driving drunk

Give him his day in court. If he's guilty, throw the book at him. He should never see the light of day again.

 

I'm wondering if this is a consensual relationship a la Roger Clemens.  Another Texan.

So you're suggesting that Wetteland and Clemens had a little fling back in the day?:lol:

To be fair Rodger STILL denies there was ever a sexual relationship... he says they were  just friends and that he became friends with her parents as well...

 

He lawyer denied it too ?

And she was never entirely clear on when the sexual relationship started - "years" after they met, and she was 15 when they met, according to her.

He also said he didn't use steroids.

 

He also said he didn't mean to hit Piazza in the head.

 

The guy is a pure scumbag.

It was disgusting.  I'd feel the same even if it wasn't against the Mets.

it's okay even if your Mets-ish-ness took high dudgeon

 

it was like a lightning strike, rare in baseball....

 

it was ten times more flabbergasting as when Goose Gossage drilled Ron Cey right in the face in the 81 World Series

 

The Seahawks throwing the INT in the SB was another WTF moment where i couldn't comprehend what i just saw live, for a few minutes....

Mel Hall may very well have been the worst human being ever to play MLB.  Bullied Bernie Williams as well when he just got called up

         I remember him being drafted out of Port Byron High School but never really followed him.   Seems there is an entire story on him.

Very easy.

Sounds like Michael Jackson fable - in bed but no sex.

The News reported that the two met in a Florida karaoke bar when McCready was a 15-year-old aspiring singer and Clemens was a 28-year-old ace for the Red Sox and a married father of two.

After the teenage McCready met Clemens at a Fort Myers bar called The Hired Hand, she returned with the Rocket to his hotel room, but there was no sex that night, sources told The News.

Yup.  And Bill Clinton didn't inhale, Ray Lewis didn't stab anyone and OJ is innocent.

Are you talking about when Clemens beaned Piazza regular season? I didn't think that got much play outside NY. Until Clemens threw Piazza's sawed off bat at him in the WS months later.

 

Regardless, if the charges against Wetteland have merit...repulsive..

I think they're mixing up the two incidences, too.

Clemens threw at and hit opponents all the time. One of the all time precision right handed flamethrowers to use this tactic.

 

He only threw a broken bat back at one opponent.

 

Clemens called out Barry Bonds for the piece of plastic on his arm, and then hit him on it.

He's from my hometown. Faced him a few times in high school / Babe Ruth ball, looked absolutely stupid in the batters box against him. I always remember when Cardinal Newman came to play, the scouts were there in droves to watch him. Sad to hear, a bit of a shock. If true, he's a ?
