<< <i>Not sure Pedro Guerrero was a criminal!? He was hanging out with OJ Simpson at one point in the 1990's or early 2000's but don't think that makes him a criminal. Plus, at one point during his career he was tied for the most home runs in June. I wish I had a game used bat from that amazing "record." >>

Interesting.
That is interesting. As a Dodger fan he carried them through a few bad years in the 80's. He was really a great hitter. Hanging out with OJ Simpson is good indication that he wasn't too smart. Jim Rome used to play the sound bite. I think it was some gal had been partying with OJ Simpson and Pedro G down in Miami. I don't remember the story but Rome said something like, "Ya, that's great. If that's your daughter you really can't be too proud of her...." I still want that record setting bat though! Home runs in June! WOW!!!!! Hey, it's a record because it's in the "record book."
"MacTavish missed the 1984–85 season after being convicted of vehicular homicide, having struck and killed a young woman while he was driving under the influence of alcohol.

"On January 6, 1988, in a game played at Maple Leaf Gardens, Dino Ciccarelli attacked Maple Leafs defenceman Luke Richardson with his stick. As a result of this incident, Ciccarelli was convicted of assault, fined $1000, and sentenced to one day in jail."
"On September 29, 2003, Heatley was seriously injured after he lost control of the Ferrari 360 Modena he was driving. The car struck a wall, splitting the car in half and ejecting him and his passenger, teammate Dan Snyder.... Despite forgiveness from Dan Snyder's family, Heatley was charged with vehicular homicide; he pleaded guilty to second-degree vehicular homicide, driving too fast for conditions, failure to maintain a lane, and speeding."
Nate Newton: On November 4, 2001 police in St. Martin Parish, Louisiana, found 213 lb of marijuana in his white van. Five weeks later, he was caught with 175 lb of marijuana on Interstate 45. He was sentenced to 30 months in federal prison, and has since then gone straight, renouncing his past and turning his life around and he now speaks to children involved in athletics about his past.

Published: April 9, 1987 LEAD: Rafael Septien, the Dallas Cowboys' place-kicker, pleaded guilty yesterday to a charge of indecency with a child in an agreement with prosecutors that brought him a sentence of 10 years' deferred probation and a $2,000 fine.
Rafael Septien, the Dallas Cowboys' place-kicker, pleaded guilty yesterday to a charge of indecency with a child in an agreement with prosecutors that brought him a sentence of 10 years' deferred probation and a $2,000 fine.
Septien, 33 years old, was indicted Jan. 22 in the sexual assault of a 10-year-old friend of his roommate's daughter. He originally pleaded not guilty. Under deferred probation, if Septien follows the terms of his sentence, it will not go on his record as a conviction.
As part of the terms, he was ordered to avoid alcoholic beverages and to contact the probation office on the first and third Tuesday of each month beginning April 14.
On December 12, 1933 at the Boston Garden, Boston played against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Eddie Shore was tripped by Francis "King" Clancy in the Toronto zone. As he was skating back, he mistakenly checked Toronto's Irvine "Ace" Bailey from behind, it was a devastating body check intended for Clancy as a retaliation for the trip earlier. Bailey fell and hit his head on the ice and fractured his skull, he lay twisted and twitching in a seizure-like state Bailey had two brain operations and hovered between life and death for 10 days.

Probably one of the worst tragedies. Killed 3 teenagers while driving impaired, only served 16 months!! A dark day in Lions history!!
