He probably should talk to a doctor because he's deff not all there."(Shoeless Joe Jackson's fall from grace is one of the real tragedies of baseball. I always thought he was more sinned against than sinning." -- Connie Mack
"I have the ultimate respect for Whitesox fans. They were as miserable as the Cubs and Redsox fans ever were but always had the good decency to keep it to themselves. And when they finally won the World Series, they celebrated without annoying every other fan in the country."--Jim Caple, ESPN (Jan. 12, 2011)

Bradley has psych issues. These things are usually mitigating factors in criminal cases; he won't do 13 years. The article reads as if they stacked 13 misdemeanors on top of each other, so I really doubt he'll do that much time in jail.
Still, guys like Bradley are dangerous. These sort of power and control issues that drive domestic violence don't just spontaneously get better. And they are separate issues from drug use. Bradley's not choking his wife out (if he is, in fact, guilty) just because he likes his weed. He needs help. But his spouse and kids need safety."I do not care if half the league strikes. Those who do it will encounter quick retribution. All will be suspended and I don't care if it wrecks the National League for five years. This is the United States of America and one citizen has as much right to play as another. The National League will go down the line with Robinson whatever the consequences. You will find if you go through with your intention that you have been guilty of complete madness."
NL President Ford Frick, 1947

Phelon in Baseball Magazine in 1915. “Ross Barnes, forty years ago, was as great as Cobb or Wagner ever dared to be. Had scores been kept then as now, he would have seemed incomparably marvelous.”

Oh woe, woe, woe to us all. America is crumbling while drugs take our baseball stars, our heroes! Oh pray for ye woe begotten world in which we live!
I personally think he should start drinking a few cases of Coors a week. That'll calm down those violent weed outburts.
