The Pendragon's Hall

Every once in awhile you get a touching sports story regarding an athlete and his wife. It's just rare that it's actually reported. Apparently Yankees slugger Gary Sheffield and his wife are at the center of a scandal regarding a previous relationship the wife had. The baseball star is sticking with it manfully, declaring that he "knew about" the relationship before and "is sticking to his wife through good and bad." Of course the news media must be disappointed about not being able to break up a marriage, their favorite thing after taking down conservative politicians. But sorry, people: some of us still pick ourselves up after mistakes and thus do not hold it over the heads of others. Thank you, Mr. Sheffield.
