Cleveland pitcher Kyle Denney shot in calf while riding on team bus

quote:
Cleveland Indians pitcher Kyle Denney was hit in the leg by a bullet that pierced the team's bus Wednesday night, but he was not seriously hurt, perhaps thanks to white cheerleading boots he was wearing as part of a hazing ritual.

quote:
As part of a rookie hazing ritual, Denney was wearing a USC cheerleader's outfit, including the high white boots, on the trip to the airport.

``Our trainers said the boots may have saved Kyle from further injury,'' Swain said.

I don't know whether to be happy he's going to be okay or revolted at the fact that he was riding around in a college cheerleader's uniform..... [Eek!]

Well, Brad Pitt predicted that skirts would be "in" after the movie "Troy," but this is ridiculous.

(And I am glad he is OK.)

Well, for those of you that have to drive through high crime areas, the google ad at the bottom has links to places with big sales on cheerleading uniforms.

Wonder if they'll be standard issue for cops?

Hmmm...better than a flack jacket! Hmmm...maybe you should send it to me, instead. Oh, hmmm...maybe not. [Dont Know]

About what happened to the guy: [ROFL]

quote:
An Oklahoma native, Denney said his teammates chose the outfit because the Sooners are ranked second behind USC in the AP's college football poll.

``I've never been so glad to have a USC thing on,'' he said.

(I'm a Sooner in case anyone forgot)

I wonder if the AP writer is a Sooner also, as the other articles I've seen on this make no mention of the cheerleader outfit. [Wink]

I guess leather really is more appropriate than vinyl for tall boots.
