it definitely is, but his life was impacted in such a negative way...at least he gets something awesome out of it in the end. Yeah; it's the weird resolution (hopefully) to a weird situation that the poor guy got WAY too much horsefeathers over. Still plenty of meatballs that look at him as some kind of villain or figure of scorn, and since he very understandably doesn't want to be a part of something like throwing out a first pitch, this seems like a good way to publicly give a little something back to a guy who didn't deserve any of the awfulness he's gone through. I'm not sure I know anyone who blames him. I feel the meatballs don't blame him. It only seems like his named lived on because of Fox and ESPN.
