True Crime Time


Episode 24: Bad Boys of Baseball

March 30, 2014

It’s spring here at our true crime podcast, and that can only mean one thing, baseball! We have the usual round up of true crime stories in the first segment, followed by our salute to the national pastime in the second, as we look at some of our favorite baseball criminals.


Our first half stories this week include a “where are they now” segment on the scissor sisters, followed by:


Drinking and breast feeding mom gets charges dropped:


drunk toddler

My God! Did she not really think of the possible consequences of drinking and breast feeding?


Other Drunk Toddler

After all no one wants a belligerent toddler, drunk on breast milk.


Know when to stop

Also, knowing when to quit doesn’t just apply to the drinking part.


We have the story of the man who robbed the same shoe store twice, fifteen years apart:


Stride Rite

Meanwhile, behind the facade of this innocent looking shoe store….


And we ask the eternal question; who is drunkest?


DUI on police Lawn

The guy who parked drunk on the lawn of the police station?


 


Or the guy wearing a pair of pants as a shirt?


We have news of the $11,000 blow job:


Cop BJ

She not only found one, but a healthy payday to boot.


Meanwhile, also in the UK, is the case of the criminal too big to jail:


Seven Foot Two

Too tall for jail. Viola wants to know, are all the bits proportional?


The horrifying playground, razor blade incident:


That turns your stomach just looking at the photo.


A real Old Man Group:


OMG

The original Old Man Grouper, offers free lance sex-ed instruction to teen


The four hundred pound + cop who posed as a teen girl on Facebook to solicit pictures of teen boys:


Child Porn Cop

For our British listeners, this is what 28 and a half stone of pure sexy love looks like.


Meanwhile a California cop skipped the FB stuff and just had sex with a teen in real life:


Gastineau

True story, his lawyer said his “service as a deputy sheriff” should count towards him getting a reduced sentence.


Meanwhile a pedophile sentenced to forty years in prison mysteriously drops dead in the county jail:


VT Pedophile

See how sickly he looks?


And some people just need to put some clothes on:


tricycle guy

This guy was naked, chewing glass and tobacco while riding a three wheeled bike.


French Performance Art

Well they like Jerry Lewis, so maybe this makes sense in France. Click photo to see video of a previous performance.


In the second segment we do not become a serial killer podcast as we usually do, but instead turn to our favorite baseball criminals.


Ugueth jail

Ugueth Urbina during his jail stay in Venezuela.


Too bad he didn’t name his son Junior, then we could label this UUUU.


today with son

Ugueth and son. Ugueth is trying to make a comeback in winter ball, while son pitches in Mets organization.


If you are keeping score, here’s how to diagram baseball’s most famous wife swap:


Swap diagram

Gives new meaning to “getting to third base”.


Mel Hall, decent player, pedophile. Do that put that under hobbies on your baseball card?


Mel Hall

Was convicted of molesting three kids, but I doubt they were the first three.


Denny McClain, one of the most infamous names in MLB history:


McClain then

At the top of his game


McClain Now

Are we sure this is the same guy?


And finally a semi happy ending. Aikens really seems like a decent guy with a tough addiction.


With a name like Wllie Mays, wouldn’t it suck if he didn’t like baseball….


And as always many thanks to sHeavy for the use of their song, Revenge of the Viper Three.
