Waste Of Space Monday - Tee Ball Coach
Yes, I know it is Tuesday. Yes, I know I played yesterday. But I heard about this story on the radio this morning and just couldn't wait another week to post about this complete and total WASTE OF SPACE.
Mark Downs Jr. was a tee-ball coach last year. He was the type of coach that wanted to win at all costs. So what did he do to qualify him for Waste of Space?
He coached in a leaque that mandated that all kids got to play at least 3 innings. He didn't want one particular kid, Harry, to play because he wasn't as good a player as the rest of the kids. So, he paid one of the other kids $25 to throw baseballs at Harry to try to hurt him.
Harry was hit once in the groin, but recovered and his mother wanted him back in the game. So then they threw a 2nd ball at him and it hit him in the ear.
What makes this story even worse... Harry Has Autism, Mild Retardation, and a Speech Impairment.
I heard this morning on KLUV, that he was sentenced to 1 - 6 years in prison. And what really gets me is they were talking about a poll surroundng this incident that resulted in the majority of people saying that the Coach's punishment was too harsh... WTF is wrong with these people?
As Tammy says so frequently, I hate people.

He needs to be pelted with baseballs all day, everyday, for the rest of his sad little life.
