It's pretty sickening. The creep raped a 12 year old girl, among others. The sentence has been called excessive. Apparently all the good he's done outweighs something so wrong.  It pisses me off to see celebrities get off light in matters like this. The sentence being called excessive is so typical it hardly annoys me anymore. Anytime an "athlete" like this gets into serious trouble, all we in the sports industry hear about is how awesome he is and how he's such a good, nice, caring individual that contributes to society like everybody else. Believe me, he would appreciate 45 years in the pen over what I would do to him if this were my daughter. Ah, if only true justice was left in the hands of the wronged... |

That's so horrible. I agree with Jersey too that forty-five years has an end in sight for a guy like that. He might get out in five for good behavior.
Someone like that is a disgrace to humanity let alone Baseball. Classic takes it kind of personally when one of the Baseball community is in the news for something terrible.

Hall was never worth a crap on the field it turns out that he isn't worth one in life either. He's just a useless waste of flesh that should rot in prison. At least that's going to happen to him. Blastgirl is right it is personal. There's a unity that scum like that breaks its as if we're all under some extra scrutiny because of him.

Excessive? He gets to eat 3 times a day and be inside out of the weather. He gets something to wear. Where's the excess?
Like Jersey Life said they only call it excessive because they're actually going to send him to jail.

Excessive sentence my foot! It seems celebrities can get away with anything just because they have money and fame. You have no idea how much it annoyed me that certain celebrities were in jail for not even TWO HOURS for a drunk driving arrest, even though they were underage, or possession of drugs.

The lenience for some athletes or celebrities is just sickening way too often.
I have posted on this board about an ex teammate who ended up being shot in some crackhouse. That was a waste of good talent. He had been released a few months previously because he kept failing drug tests. He also got bobbed around the leagues because he was a known druggie.
When it was felt that testing would happen they would send him off on a conditioning assignment in a lower league or a lateral different league. When the heat seemed to be off they brought him back.
He really should have been in the majors by now but instead he's dead. Shot in some crack house for a fix or someone giving the slip to someone and the runner getting caught in the crossfire and dies that way? How stupid.
This guy could run like a deer, hit any kind of change up. And field, this guy played centerfield most of the time he could almost throw the ball from the fence to the catcher without a bounce. Accurately too. I would say he was better than Mal Hall I am very sure of that.
Mel just needs to meed Bubba poetic karma would make it's rounds then.
