I read the SI piece. If I’m in a front office, I couldn’t pull the trigger on him. Just too much PR risk.
As a human being, I’m really torn on this. On one hand, what he pled guilty to is horrific and awful and if it happened to MY daughter, I don’t know what I’d do.
On the other, I do believe in rehabilitation and second chances. Does that mean, after serving his sentence, he should be able to pursue Baseball again? Or just be able to pursue a life as a productive member of society.
I don’t know.
I know that most abusers are victims of abuse and are broken in a way that makes them a danger to abuse others.
I also know that Heimlich falls into a little different category because of his age and the circumstances.
It’s a lot to wrestle with as a human being, IMO. Baseball decision is fairly easy.
