St. Louis Cardinals’ pitcher Josh Hancock, killed less than a week ago in a crash into a parked trailer, was legally drunk. He had a 0.157 blood-alcohol level, plus more than 8 grams of pot and a pipe to boot. I’m sure that was only the No. 3 cause, though, the marijuana. Being drunk was No. 1. Talking on a cell phone while drunk was No. 2.
As for the question, the likely answer is: “Not much.” Given that manager Tony La Russa got a DWI arrest in spring training, with nary a disciplinary action by club management, and is going to fight the case in court, it would be stupid to expect more.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
