JUDGE SHOULD BE SENT TO THE MINORS

I admire Darryl Strawberry as a baseball player. He is a superb athlete. As 
a role model he is absolutely nothing. Judge Florence Foster, when 
rendering judgment on Strawberry, said that "this is the bottom of the 
ninth, with two strikes against him. He has proved he is a winner on the 
field. Now he must prove he is a winner off the field."

I envisioned the same scene except Darryl hits the ball to the judge who 
allows Darryl to reach base due to an error. If I were the team manager I 
would have to bench Foster, who has been committing many errors as of late. 
It is time that she be sent to the minors for further seasoning.
