witesoxfan Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 as if it wasn't sad enough The minivan's driver fled the scene and was later arrested, Brower said. Andrew Thomas Gallo, 22, of Riverside will face charges of manslaughter, felony driving under the influence and hit-and-run, he said.

Dick Allen Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 Its amazing how the majority of these stories have drinking and driving involved with them. This guy was a totally innocent victim who has his life cut short because of someone else's stupidity. If you go to a game anytime soon, and you drive, and the beer vendor won't sell you a beer until you are finished with the one you are currently drinking, instead of cussing him out, and complaining about the new rule, thank him he may be saving someone some heartache.

Yup. And every time I read a story like this I get a sick vomit feeling in my stomach because I was guilty of driving under the influence a couple years ago. So, so fortunate my dumbass didn't hurt anybody. I'm NEVER letting that dumb s*** happen again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the majority of this board has driven when they were probably in no condition to do so, including myself. Not hurting anyone including ourselves was really dodging a bullet. I refuse to drive if I have 1 drink anymore. (Of course its easier for me as my wife does not drink). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I will drive after 2 beers or 1 other. Nothing beyond that, and I'll always have a water before I go too. Never again will I drive when intoxicated in the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T R U Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Its so annoying to read these stupid RIP threads and see so many people claim "I will never drink and drive again" just because some baseball player dies when ordinary people die from this ALL the time and its never mentioned.

clyons Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Horrible, sad story, but there are three postive things we all can do in response to such a tragedy: pray for or just hold a good thought for his family; tell our family members we love them; don't ever let your friends (or yourself) drive drunk.

If I have more than 2 beers I always have about an hour buffer before I drive. I don't like taking chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostfan Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Is it just me or does it seem like MLB loses pitchers at a rate of about one per year, for various reasons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's eerie how it's always pitchers - Joe Kennedy, Cory Lidle, Josh Hancock, Darryl Kile. All tragic stories for all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
