Didn’t Johnny Bench beat up LPGA player Sally Little at one point? Or am I misremembering?

[scottinoc]

Bench then responded, "He was Jewish," which prompted laughter from some in the audience.the identity of "some" may never be known, since as well as know, microphones and video cameras are a recently new invention, and all this surveillance information like who dropped the dime bag, that is cloaked in a mystery...

[nickcarraway]

I just looked it up and couldn’t find anything.

[FLNittany]

Something about Kings Island, OH, Ray Knight and Nancy Lopez. Maybe it wasn’t Sally. It’ll come to me.

Those Kikes, those Dagos, those Polacks, those Waps, those Wasps, those Firemen, all came out of the mouth of my grandmother, the wife of a Detroit police officer when I was a kid...........LOL!

[nickcarraway]

Okay, but we don’t have to repeat it.

[Hot Tabasco]

Okay, but we don’t have to repeat it.

She was Irish, what can I say?

[euram]

I’m sure a big payout would sooth the hurt feelings.

Never apologize to cowards who run the MLB and force the proletariate to shine the boots of the enlightened ones who destroy All Star games, Home Run Derbies, and promote the Perpetual Indulgences.

[nickcarraway]

I don’t get a sense that he did it for MLB. I think he sincerely felt bad.

I met Gabe Paul once. I was in LA and the Winter Meetings were there. I was walking between two appointments. I walked by the hotel where the Winter Meetings were taking place, and since I had a bit of time, I stopped in for a few minutes just to experience the vibe.

I had seen Gabe Paul’s picture and recognized him. I said hello and complimented him on the deals he was making. He smiled, said “Thank you,” shook my hand, and excused himself.

He seemed like a nice guy from my very brief interaction with him.

[TBP]

So they’re not going to bench him for that remark?

[nickcarraway]

Sounds nice.
