So the latest baseball scandal (I’m not counting the A-Rod thing because that’s NOT new news to me) is a lawsuit that includes former New York Met (sorry Mark, only had room for one of the teams he was on) Roberto Alomar, an ex-girlfriend, $15 million, and a terminal disease.
ALLEGEDLY the story goes something like this:
Roberto Alomar (R.A.): Hey baby, I play baseball. How bout I handle your rosin bags while you cork my bat?
Ex-girlfriend (Ex): Sure! Then I can tell all my friends I got plowed by a pro athlete! Charlene will be SO jealous!
R.A.: What do you mean ‘no glove no love?’ You know I always make plays bare-handed!
Ex: That’s it, it’s over, I’m sick of all this forced unprotected sex.
R.A.: Whaaaaa? Well I have full-blown AIDS!
Ex: Whaaaaa? I shall sue you for $15M, that’ll make me feel better!
So maybe it didn’t go exactly like that, but you get the jist. And if you don’t believe me, the smoking gun has 13 pages of scanned legal documents, which are a pretty good read, but I think they could have spiced it up with some clever innuendo as mentioned in my last post. Speaking of which, I should have just named this post “Happy Valentines Day Part 2: Full Blown AIDS.”
bullshit. sucks for her, but unless she’s being raped, she could have prevented the unprotected sex. i doubt there’s a judge alive who would want to open the pandora’s box for suing a person who gives you a disease…
And it sucks for that ump who’s eye he spit in that has to get an AIDS test now…
Hm, I would think there’s already been lawsuits or attempted lawsuits on the same subject. I’d also imagine that he could at least be civilly liable if he knew and didn’t tell her. If he can prove he didn’t know, or that he did tell her, I think he’d be alright.
As for passing HIV/AIDS through spitting in one’s eye, I’m not sure if this is possible. I know things like sharing saliva via the same straw or even kissing can’t spread it, unless the eye is somehow able to absorb the virus, somehow being more sensitive or absorbent than say, the inside of ones mouth. In any case, I wouldn’t recommend it, and think that would be one scary test.
there would have to be blood in the saliva and somehow that would have to find some opening in the eye area to enter the system… very unlikely.
