Correction



Last week it was reported in another media outlet (email chain) that our favorite left fielder, #5, was sighted enjoying a heater in front of youngsters at a Philies charity event.

Originally this contributor brushed off this presumption as a falsehood, riff-raff, if you will.

Although be it rare that I am proven wrong, if ever, this contributor is now backing off of that statement. All apologies to the young educator that orginally reported this happening as well to the lad who unfortunatlely witnessed the event firsthand.

Pat that Bat and his enjoying of the heater last week in front of pubescents? Fact!

A source very close to THOD has confirmed that said event took place and even overhead Burrell and a concerned parent jawing back and forth over the matter between drags of his now infamous burner.

Our source is reporting that the following conversation took place on that fateful evening.

Parent: Some of these kids look up you as a role model, don't you think it might be wise to do that (the violent sucking down of a heater) in private?

#5: Fuck that. Dontcha know that by growing up here (in Philadelphia) at least half these kids will be eating these things by the time they're 12. Might as well get used to it sooner than later.

Parent: I just think that for the kids, you should put that out.

#5: Put it out? Are you serious? Fuck that. Tell you what - Ruiz's glove is prettier than most of the catcher's mitt faces on those slobs that scream at me out in left field. This town is disgusting, and so are the sluts that wet their pants for me. Look at yourself, you're disgusting too, parent.

Parent: You're an embarrassment.
#5: How old is your daughter?

So here's to your boy celebrating yet another called third strike



with a pack of these strikes
#5!!!!
