Sean Gaines Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) In my Books there is only one ted williams The one that had: 6 batting titles Most Valuable Player twice Served our country in WWII as a fighter pilot .344 carreer batting average over 500+ Homeruns in his carreer Hall of Fame in 1986 The best hitter that ever lived.... avid hunter and fisherman If I wanted to see the ted williams in the first post, I would dry by the underpass. Why don't the news media talk about true american hero's. Men/Woman who served their country, and influenced a generation of people. This is the Ted Williams I want to remember Edited January 18, 2011 by Sean Gaines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gohuskers Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Big +1 brother; plus they don't tell the story of the homeless guy leaving his wife destitute and his kids without food while he used whatever money he scrounged to pay for his alcohol and drugs. We need more stories about heros not people who chose a lifestyle and then regretted it because it cost them too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpha-charlie Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 +1, Just remember that the clock is ticking on his 15 minutes of fame. The real Ted Williams will be remembered forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Smith Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 If there has ever been a case where someone is targeted for failure, it's this guy. All that publicity and they're sending him to some posh celebrity rehab center to boot when for the money they are spending on this guy, they could help him, his family, and many more like them. All so a few people get to pat themselves on the back for being humanitarians while this guy gets put under the microscope of public scrutiny just waiting for him to backslide. It's just plain sad but the public just laps this stuff up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gohuskers Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 The statistics on in-patient rehab are appalling, with the vast majority of attendees relapsing within weeks or months, at most. I see it a lot with parents who put their addict kid into some posh in patient facility for 30 to 45 days and, waa-lah, they're cured! What a joke. Real treatment doesn't cost a thing - it's called AA and NA. The success of the latter programs is very good because it's maintenance treatment, which works. The rest is just fluff which is used to minimize the disruption of both the sponsor and attendee's life. I hope this guy makes it but like the others have said we'll see. I'm not holding my breath.

Jman Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Sad but predictable story. It's reported that he "walked out of rehab" this morning. Wish it had a better ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carter300 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 As I suspected, with the overnight fame, he may fall back into the grove of drugs and alky. Now walked out of rehab(??), must not be taking it serious. Plus his arrest record (of course this is according to the news, as I dont know 100%) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaxshooter Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Just like the reality TV shows starring convicited felons etc. Why don't we put someone sucessful in the spotlight instead of the trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaffo Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 It was such a predictable thing. HEY! I have a great idea!!! Let's give a ton of money and fame to a homeless drug addict that is trying to get sober!!! Even IF he really was trying, there was no chance he could make it through that...
