Detroit Tiger Assaults Man in NYC - UPDATE - Hate Crime!
Tigers left fielder Delmon Young was arrested early Friday morning after
he allegedly assaulted a man in front of a New York City hotel,
according to the New York Post.
...
Young reportedly was highly intoxicated when police were called to the hotel at 2:40 a.m. ET, according to the Post.
Gee, stone drunk and out partying at 2:40 am the day before a game. And people are wondering why he can't fucking hit the ball!

I can believe that he swung at the guy, but I doubt he connected.

If you punch someone from NYC, is it really a crime?
Sort of a "tree falls in the forest" type question.
Yankee fans are a tough crowd. They have perfected the art of heckling. Makes me wonder what he said.

I'd like to hear a recording of the dialogue leading up to this. Must have been pretty anti-honkey?
A black man charged with a hate crime?

This won't go over well with Rev. Al and Jessie.

At .270? How did the Tigers make it to the ALCS with a .270 hitter being one of the best batters on the team?

He was the hottest bat in the playoffs, over .300 IIRC.
He's certainly isn't the best, but he did do alot to contribute.

Nope. Anti-semetic. Apparently talking shit to a panhandler and the tourists that the bum was begging got offended and he got into a scrum with them.
I thought this was about a literal tiger when I first read the thread title.
Silly me.
