T-Ball Coach Pays to Have Player Injured
This one is so bad that I just had to post a second simpleton today. This guy is a real winner.
This week's second simpleton is Mark R. Downs Jr..
Downs is the coach of a T-ball team, he loved winning, and he had a problem. He had a disabled child on his team, and league rules require that each player play at least three innings.
So, what would you do in this instance? Would you focus on training the disabled child to allow him to play the best he could play? Would you just play the kid in the three least important innings? Would you cheat and play the kid for less than three innings? Believe you me . . . we could hope that Downs had chosen simply to cheat in this way.
Nope. Downs had a different idea. Of course, who wouldn't? Naturally, he just followed his heart. He (allegedly) offered another T-ball player on the team $25 to intentionally injure the disabled boy so he couldn't/wouldn't play in the game. The disabled child was hit in the head and the groin by baseballs and did not play in that day's game. Mission accomplished, I suppose.
Downs was arrested and charged with criminal solicitation to commit aggravated assault and corruption of minors. Good times. Doesn't that match up with your childhood memories of playing baseball?
