Talented pitcher for a few years, by all accounts a funny guy but a real slimeball crook. Bad job by the BBWAA inviting him. Basura is right with his assessment of McLain.

Here's an article on the dinner with Damon headlining. Sharpshooters A-rod and Joba got in a couple of zingers. Love the quote from Jimmy Rollins about his mama. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3218378 Was Torre there or is he recovering from surgery? He got a loooongevity award. Don't know if it for service or for sessions with beat writers. ;) Basura,

But since then, I think everyone's gone on to report about the separation. Any reporter worth their salt won't just leave it at "family reasons, so lay off Heyman.
