Baseball. Blogging. Whenever.Friday, August 14, 2009Comment of the Day: Denny McLain makes an appearance at ShysterBallThis morning I and some commentors fired a couple of missiles in the direction of Denny McLain. This evening, Denny -- or someone claiming to be him, but I'm pretty sure it is him -- fired back:it is amazing to me that some of you toss these missiles as though thoughtlessness is an art. Please if nothing else get the facts straight and don’t be afraid of checking facts. Blogs are opinionslike some body parts! I know that you folks also have something else in mind since all of us have one of THOSE also. Entertainment folks that is what we try to do and to get you to think a little, a little emotion and disagreement never hurts anyone, as far as things that may have occurred 15 yrs ago check the facts, at least ck the facts and lastly, you know my baggage I wonder if any of you folks have any at all? I always wonder about folks who throw nasty insults without facts, their baggage remains in secret. Thank you for reading and your comments, we all make a few mistakes, it is human.talk to you soon! Fair enough, Denny. And you're right: the facts matter. For those of you who accuse before you write, here are a ton of facts on the life and times of Mr. McLain. I mean, I'd hate for someone not to have all of the reasons to fire missiles at Mr. McLain beforehand. Posted by Craig Calcaterra at 7:25pm Comments

“(By the way, there is nothing inherently inappropriate or hypocritical about someone who has served time for an offense proclaiming subsequent disapproval of others who engage in a similar offense. It’s called “learning.”)”
But it’s not like Bonderman actually stole $40 million and McClain was saying that’s wrong. He was hyperbolizing to try to make a point.
I think most people, after serving prison time for crime they say was a big misunderstanding, would be more careful with the words they choose. Since accusing someone of a crime that they didn’t actually commit, even tongue in cheek, will only remind people who the real convicted felon is.
