MLB scaring rooks straight on DUI
ByMaybe Joba should have attended this: a scared straight program for MLB draft picks and rookies. The article only mentions Brewers rooks going in for the program, though I guess (and hope) that all 30 teams will educate their players in such a manner.
It’s a neat idea. They toured a jail so that the players could get a feel for the inmate life. It kind of reminds me of a video they made us watch in high school.
Just popped up on MLB Trade Rumors that according to Impacto Deportivo (whatever the hell that is), the Yanks inked Marte to a 3 year $12 million deal.
Dude. Email.
Sorry, I always forget about that.

Por Cortadores de Diamantes, soy Pedro Gammons, ESPN.
(disclaimer: That’s the best I can remember from not having taken a Spanish class in 15 years. Sorry if it’s unintelligible.)
The only words I recognized there were beisbol and punto.
Wow, is there a link to see “Scared Straight” in it’s entirety? Great find!
Yeah. If you go to the YouTube URL:

Parts 2, 3, and 4 show up in the sidebar. I haven’t found the whole thing, though I haven’t really looked.
some of the video is no longer available
also research shows these programs not lonly do not work but many increase the risk of crime/arrest/jail
Narrator:
But as it turns out, the fair had two Startled Straight tents. And George, Sr. had wandered into the church-sponsored one…
George, Sr.:
Do you want to become some guy’s girlfriend?
Narrator:
…intended to scare gay young men into a heterosexual lifestyle.
George, Sr.:
You want to have some guy reach around you in the middle of the night, start messing with your junk?
At-Risk Male Youth #1:
Is he ugly?
George, Sr.:
No, it’s pitch black. You don’t see him, and it never stops, guys. And everybody acts like it’s no big deal.

Is there a cover charge?
