Boy shoulda been arrested long time ago for the crime of spelling of his first name!

If his spousal unit plays this right, Andruw will end up with two strikes, both by foul balls.

Very sad. I followed Andruw’s career while he was with the Braves and he is one naturally talented young man who totally wasted the gifts God gave him.

???? He's had a long, great career.

Interesting. I'm definitely keeping an open mind on this one.

I agree 100%! Women who hit men are just as insane. I was hit by a woman that I didn't know... at a party many years ago. She tapped me on my shoulder... and as I turned to greet whomever was getting my attention... she punched me right in the mouth. She thought I was her old boyfriend and as soon as I spun around... she lurched behind a group of women. She was shocked that I was not him. Her best friend tried to explain the situation for her. I just looked at her and said, “If that is all that you have got... I suggest you not hit the real guy”.

Not really... she didn’t have anything behind the punch and I was in college and young and the pretty girl in the corner felt sorry for me and we went and had dinner and lovely time. I always wondered what that guy had done to make this girl so mad. Merry belated Christmas friend!

I guess he can forget about playing in Japan this year...their immigration rules are pretty tough, and I doubt they will let him enter while he is awaiting adjudication on his battery charge. The courts in GA may not let him leave the country while awaiting prosecution

This isn’t what they meant when they nickname a baseball player “Slugger”...
