I Hope John Wetteland, Former Yankees WS MVP, Rots In Hell For The Rest Of His Life
John Wetteland, a former World Series MVP and member of the Texas Rangers Hall of Fame, was arrested Monday on a charge of child sex abuse.
According to the Dallas Morning News, Wetteland allegedly abused a 4-year-old relative beginning in 2004. Authorities believe the abuse continued twice more in the following years, according to an affidavit. Here are more details from the Morning News:
Wetteland pitched in the majors from 1989 to 2000, moving from starter to closer in 1990 and finding success with the Montreal Expos, New York Yankees and Texas Rangers. He was named the World Series MVP in 1996 with the Yankees, but the team allowed him to become a free agent weeks later due to the emergence of Mariano Rivera. He signed with the Rangers and spent four seasons in Arlington, retiring at 33 after becoming the team’s all-time saves leader with 150 — a record he still holds.
So assuming this is all true, John Wetteland needs to rot away in hell for the rest of his life. I thought about not even blogging this because it’s so disgusting, but I had to voice how much this upset me. I’m embarrassed Wetteland ever put on the Yankee pinstripes. That iconic picture after winning the ’96 World Series with him throwing up a big number 1 sign in the dog pile has to be deleted from history now. This picture is literally engrained in Yankees fans memories and it’s all over Yankee Stadium.
Reports are saying he forced a 4 year old relative to perform sex acts on him. He also sexually abused a 14 year old constantly. I mean what the actual fuck John? How can you be that sick in the head? The Nats fired him as their pitching coach years ago because of his persistence to make practical jokes around the clubhouse and failure to listen to manager Frank Robinson. The guy is a nut job,
The bail only being set at $25,000 is outrageous. How is it not $50 million? Or how about no bail? If all these allegations are true, and it looks like they are, I hope this sick fuck is behind bars getting abused in prison for the rest of his life.
