Former Tigers P McLain arrested

Former Detroit Tigers pitcher Denny McLain is back in jail for failing to appear in court in a civil matter, according to a report in the Ann Arbor News on Friday.

A former American League MVP and Cy Young Award winner, McLain apparently failed to appear in a Livingston County court, and was arrested at 3 p.m. on Friday.

According to the report, the 64-year-old McLain told Livingston County sheriff Bob Bezotte he could not post the 10 percent minimum of $175,000 needed for bail.

A spokesman for Livingston County jail said bond was posted later in the evening, and McLain was expected to leave around 8 p.m. local time. Check out our Live MLB Baseball Odds to get the best odds.

McLain won 31 games in 1968 and help the Tigers to a world championship. The last 30-game winner in the majors, McLain was convicted of racketeering, loan-sharking and conspiracy to distribute cocaine in 1985.

Red Sox and others


It's interesting to watch a team go from the underdog to the team on top that everyone tries to knock down. I am a Bostonian and sat through what seemed like endless years of sub-par Boston Red Sox and New England Patriots teams that disappointed me annually. The poor Red Sox, people thought they had a curse that couldn't be lifted. But now the Sox are World Series winners twice in three years, something I never thought I'd say! All of a sudden, the Red Sox are the mighty that everyone will want to beat. They are the bad guys now, the ones everybody wants a piece of.

And it's the same thing with the Patriots. They are now hated by lots of football fans. One commentator called every game against the Pats as that team's Super Bowl. I haven't seen the Patriots this year, but I went to the Angeles vs Red Sox game 3 in the playoffs and also Game 2 of the World Series. I bought game tickets from here. This year, I think I am going to forget about sports for a while and instead check out a show, maybe Young Frankenstein. But of course you can bet you'll see me at Fenway Park or Wrigley Field during this upcoming MLB season.
