as if Phillies fans didn't already have enough reasons to be embarrassed

deadspin.com pointed me toward this story from a recent Sports Illustrated--former Phillies and Marlins catcher Darren Daulton is out of his mind.

Deadspin highlights this great quote, as Daulton reflects on his legal problems since retiring:

“[My ex-wife] blames everything on drugs and drinking. But I don’t take drugs and I’m not a drunk. Nicole just doesn’t understand metaphysics.”

The article also shares this story from 1993, which might be enough to drive anyone crazy:

Crouching behind home plate at [Phillies spring training home] Jack Russell Stadium, he was practically compelled to stare at a Hooter's billboard featuring his estranged wife, Lynne, in dead center field. Lounging languorously in a skimpy tanktop, Lynne—a former Playboy playmate—was the company's poster personality.

In addition to the SI article, you can read this for more, including Daulton's thoughts on interstellar time travel. Enjoy...
