Harrassing a NY Post Reporter

Here is an interesting e-mail conversation I had with NY Post columnist Mike Vaccaro after he wrote an article suggesting that New York Yankee pitchers should throw at David Ortiz.
Here is a link to a summary of the original article. (Yes, a summary. I ain't paying to unarchive the entire thing!)
I've changed my e-mail address in this posting because I have enough stalkers already.

So, the Yanks need to "let a little music dance across the whiskers" of David Ortiz?
Would that be the same way the blast of cum dance across your whiskers you cum guzzler!
I can hear you T-cell count dropping from here!

That's the single most vile thing I've ever seen. Nice stuff. You
don't just give Red Sox fans a bad name, but human beings, too.

Writing an article about throwing baseballs at people heads is pretty awful
as well. By the way, Roger CLemens faced the Red Sox 4 more times in 2003 after his famous "plate coverage" quote. He never threw at Ortiz and he actually gave up a home run to David in game 7 of the 2003 ALCS.
I do apologize for my previous e-mail, it was quite vile and inhuman.
However, the thought of a writer wrecklessly suggesting that Randy Johnson and crew purposely throw at Ortiz is sickening.
Don't forget, you are dealing with a fan base who witnessed the tragedy of
Tony Conigliaro first hand. Tony C, the youngest player ever to reach 100 career homeruns (at the ripe age of 23 year and a couple of months) probably would have been the difference maker for the great Sox teams of '67, '75, and '78.
Instead, a pitcher who was jealous at his inability to get Tony out, decided
to take it upon himself to destroy the man's career and life.
I am sure that my e-mail wasn't the only vile one you've received from
Boston, and the sad story of Tony C. is probably why.

No apologies necessary, Chris. The great thing about sports is how it can get you fired up like this. It's why I love it so much anyway. And just to clarify: there's a difference between "throwing at" someone and "brushing him back." Tony C is the best example, and I assure you, if I or anyone else ever publicly calls for someone to get beaned, we ought to be arrested. But owning the inside part of the plate is a strategy that's been around for 150 years.

By the way, your original email got quite a few laughs from the boys in the office ... I fear they may think you were right on ...
