A Big Thank You

We would like to thank the guys at The Big Lead and Deadspin for running our story on Uno, the Westminster champion Beagle. As Beagle owners, we were already concerned about the overbreeding, adopt and later dump mentality that is widespread among dogs of all breeds.

We encourage you to adopt from your local pound, shelter, or rescue, and AVOID buying dogs from pet stores. These dogs simply help backyard breeders and puppy mills stay in business.

Our guys, Tinker and Virginia, thank you!

Mel Hall - More Than Just a Bad Influence on Bernie

Mel Hall was a semi-successful outfielder for the Yankees in the early 1990s. But they didn't like how he teased and tortured a young prospect named Bernie Williams. The Yankees, rightfully so, saw great things in Bernie, but not so much in Hall. So they let the Hall walk in 1992 and didn't really care if the door hit him on the way out.

Well Hall apparently has been a bad influence on others. This story from Deadspin -

Former major league outfielder Mel Hall has been charged with sexually assaulting two girls in 1998 and 1999 when he was coaching them on a select basketball team.

The 46-year-old Hall was released from jail Friday on $35,000 bail. He was arrested the previous day on charges of sexual assault of a child under 17 and aggravated sexual assault of a child under 14, police said Saturday. The second charge carries a possible life sentence because of the age of the alleged victim.
