The Philadelphia Inquirer publishs the 911 calls made during Bret Myers alleged assualt on his wife. A news story accompanies the transcript.
Witnesses to Phillies pitcher Brett Myers’ alleged beating of his wife on a busy Boston street described a vicious pummeling meted out by an athlete who dwarfed his spouse, according to a transcript of 911 calls obtained by the Inquirer.
“There’s a guy like beating up his girlfriend,” a woman told Boston’s 911 operators during the June 23 incident.
“I got a guy smacking a girl around right in front of the Hynes Convention Center. She’s crying. She’s got no shoes on,” a man reported. “He’s a pretty big guy… and he’s hitting her hard.”
That’s really sad. Sounds like worst reports are confirmed via independent eyewitnesses. I do not care where baseball comes down on this. He needs to do some time.
I missed this earlier:
“to my wife, family, teammates, the entire Phillies organization, and especially the fans…”
Umm, perhaps especially ~your wife~, a**hole. I hope he does time for this, and until then, I hope he gets shelled every time he pitches.
