I was incensed Sunday night when watching NBC and the teaser for the 11pm news, referring to Dwight Gooden’s arrest after a fight with his girlfriend, said, “a former Yankee baseball star in in trouble with the law.” Former Yankee? You say that in the very city where Gooden won the Cy Young, the Rookie of the Year . . . oh, the indignity.
On the other hand, as my wife pointed out: “if he’s beating his wife, let him be a Yankee.”
