Love child, never meant to be
Love child, born in poverty
Love child, never meant to be
Love child, take a look at me
Adds a whole new meaning to the term "Mr. Snappy", eh Randy?
The 6-foot-1 high-school student "looks like him, walking and talking, a young girl with attitude,"
The poor girl looks like him? My God did you ever LOOK at Randy Johnson?
'Tis a troubling mental image indeed.
The 6-foot-1 high-school student "looks like him"
If this startling accusation is true, he's inflicted far more damage on this girl than monetary compensation can ever undo.

(If what I just wrote makes you sad or angry,
This guy is REALLY on the ball! I'll bet he never even realized how old she was until an accountant or lawyer pointed it out.
$5000/mo. in child support is ridiculous to begin with, how can anyone have the gall to ask for more? I'd ask for an accounting of how the money was spent.

Sorry about that; thought NYP was okay and NYT was not. Thanks for the link, I bookmarked it.
I think he was saying he is being extorted for day care expenses when its not being used for that.

March 28, 2006 -- Yankee superstar Randy "Big Unit" Johnson has a secret 16-year-old love child he's never spoken to - but the pitching ace now wants the girl's mom to return nearly $100,000 he's paid for day care.
The $16-million-a-year hurler last month petitioned a judge to recoup eight years of day-care expenses - plus interest - after the teen's mother asked Johnson to buy a truck and computer for the girl, Heather, as well as cover community college expenses.

Laurel said Johnson balked last year after she asked the 3-time Cy Young Award winner to buy a car for Heather pay for her community college classes, the Daily News said."
You said it. So much for the sterotype about professional atheletes being hot. He is seriously ugly.
The woman is a sheister. I hope he gets all his money back from her. It would have been smart for him to set up a trust fund in her name, for her benefit only.
I guess they don't call him the "Big Unit" for nothing!
Good to hear. Thanks.
At 18...I think a guy ought to be off the hook. If the kids wants college...let them work for it or borrow the money.
