I don't know nothing about nothing
However the whispers were this was going on and Mariano didn't know anything until later on, he was playing ball not running day to day, the wife finds out realizes the severity and tries to shut everything down. But it got out especially when Mariano starting winning medals and awards etc for philanthropy and being a super Christian
Its like an episode of law & order. I don't even want to go too deep or make any jokes. Child sex abuse should be the death penalty or life in prison with chemical castration. I hope Mariano didn't know anything. But it's very possible he did. I hope none of it is true period.
Because by ALL accounts Mariano is a good man.
Regardless I hope ALL the victims get justice if the allegations are true.
Well said, Playa.
On a related note - looking at how much criminal shit is going on in the education system (teachers getting arrested for all types of shit) ... I was thinking back to the 80s and 90s and GLAD to not remember any stories or rumors of teachers / coaches being sketchy or criminally inappropriate with fellow classmates. Teachers seemingly followed the rules & weren't deviant.
Crazy to see the amount of FEMALE teachers getting caught up in the 2010s and 2020s now. Mary Kay Letourneau back in the 90s seemed like a truly random or rare incident. Some 30 years later ... nope.
That said - one former classmate from the late-80s / early-90s was molested / raped by one of his scout leaders. Heard about that about 10 years after the fact, as he was going through a tough time experiencing mental illness and drug addiction. Heard about the sad developments as my dad's close friends with his parents to this day. Good dude (former classmate). Only went to elementary school with him, but he was always a nice kid who was eccentric and naive, but good-hearted. Stopped by his parents' place with my pops back in the mid-2000s and he was there, and we talked for a few minutes.
That's the thing I really don't think it was actually BETTER back then.
Victims were less likely to be believed. You didn't TALK about it. Especially with minority kids cops didn't care. Black kids were getting raped kidnapped and murdered back then too but cops ain't care.
Like you said we know NOW about church, schools, boy scouts, even those native American church run schools all were enabling systematic child abuse.
I think all those tv shows in the 80s telling kids to speak up actually REALLY helped in a major way that goes under appreciated
Agreed.
I'm glad that kids and victims have been encouraged to speak up.
Side note ... one of the creepiest things I saw in junior high was on the public city bus after school. Our junior high was close to a local college, and one of my female classmates was 15yo dating a guy who was around 22 - 25yo from said college. He gets on the bus one day ... full capacity, and we're all at the back (guys and girls) and the 2 of them got to making out. Heavy PDA ... not giving a fuck who was watching. Everyone was uncomfortable. Us guys acted responsibly and talked to her friends afterward and said they needed to talk some sense into her, as this was NOT right. They dated for awhile. She was a late bloomer. Tall and awkward girl ... so it was like she was making up for lost time and jumping full steam ahead into the dating scene ... with the WRONG person.
Blue Jays, Santander reach 5-year, $92.5M deal
Outfielder Anthony Santander, who set career highs with 44 home runs and 102 RBIs last season, has reached a five-year, $92.5 million deal with the Blue Jays.
Interesting...Had to look it up...Kenny Lofton looks to be involved also...The focus is just on hitting
Sounds like a good idea
This could be cool, I love that it is situational. Forces you to put the ball in play.
Im going to DM Ichiro tonight to be the cap of my team.
Derek Jeter
Not a bad choice.

I wanna have a drink with the writer too, so I can smash my empty glass upside his retarded ass skull.
You know Bonds is getting the intentional pass with 1st open.

I'm really sick of fellow writers co signing that bullsh*t. My guy Kornheiser tries to do it and he sounds foolish and very old.
It's an abomination.
I was watching something earlier and some dudes where arguing about a stat that Ichiro, didn't do enough after he made base, like steal or push for extra bases. Some stupid obscure stat nobody ever heard of.
I mean the fuck this dude lead the league in hits for like 10 years straight while collecting gold gloves and is hands down the best lead off hitter in the history of baseball.
