8 Yankees are on the COVID list

 

Sounds like vaccinations are going great

I don't know which part you're being smart-aleck about, but I believe several if not all of those 8 had been vaccinated. 7 of the 8, last I had read, have no symptoms, and the 8th only mild ones, which of course is the point of getting the vaccine to begin with.

Just read the guy decided not to press charges. ...why does that matter at all?

Because he doesn't want it to get out what he said?

Well, that would explain why the guy doesn't want to press charges. But it doesn't matter what he said or how the guy who got KO'd feels about it. The Pads fan needs to be charged with assult.

Well I'm no lawyer but somebody choosing not to press charges is a thing that happens all the time

Jesus. I'm no lawyer either, but I'm well aware of the fact that someone can go to jail for assult even if the victim isn't pressing charges. If there is evidence and the prosecutor wants to charge the guy, then he gets charged.

As a former prosecutor I guess I should say something. Prosecutors have prosecutorial discretion to prosecute whatever they want but will generally defer to what the victim wants (especially on misdemeanors) unless there is some evidence or feeling that the victim isn’t cooperating for untoward reasons (think battered wives, etc). Padres Bro could definitely still be charged and still might, but it would only be a misdemeanor assault charge and the municipal prosecutors probably have their hands full with other stuff.

I mean, if someone became a father at age 20...then became a grandfather at 40...and then a great-grandfather at 60...that doesn't seem really all that unbelievable at all? This isn't that far off from that.

I think OMC was saying he was just doing the math in his head which is immediately what I was doing. But could be wrong.

Oh, I was just responding to the original post that was seemingly making it sound like it's really weird/nuts/whatever that Gooden could be a great-grandfather at 56.

Got ya. Yeah I’m sure it’s not normal at all (from statistical standpoint) but it’s not mind blowing.

Yeah I had to figure out the math. It’s not too complicated. In fact, a 56 year old-ish great grandfather is probably much closer to the norm throughout human history than what we would consider to be the normal age for a great-grandfather.

A girl in my class had a grandma that was 33 when she was born. That girl ended up having a kid at age 17 so a great grandmother at age 50. At that time, there was 6 generations of the family alive. The oldest was 83. It was pretty crazy. 17,17,16,17,16 were the ages they had their first kid (all girls).

I find it extremely weird he is only 56. Seems like forever since he was owning the league in the mid 1980's

 

With all that has happened in baseball since, it seems eons ago

Trivia that is probably true: Dwight Gooden and Albert Pujols are the same age.
