Mo Vaughn makes ad-mirable gesture
Retired Red Sox slugger Mo Vaughn takes out ad in sport of Bostonians after bombings.
MO VAUGHN gets it. Vaughn, who spent eight of his 14 major league seasons with Red Sox, was a hero to many Boston fans.
On Thursday, he turned the tables by taking out a half-page ad in the Boston Globe to let the world know that his heroes are those who sprung into action after the bombings at the Boston Marathon. Here is an excerpt:
"I'm deeply saddened by the tragic events that took place this past Monday at The Boston Marathon. Patriots Day is the one day each year that this great city celebrates the bravery and heroism of the people that live here. As a community, you quickly pulled together by rushing to the aid of the many injured - first responders, runners and the spectators themselves - you all are heroes in my eyes. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone in the City of Boston, especially to the families and friends of those who lost their lives or were injured in this horrible incident.
"Boston Will March On."
Croatian soccer coach Jozo Gaspar was fired after allegedly stealing an opposing player's credit card and using it to go on a shopping spree.
According to Croatian media reports, Gaspar, who coached NK Precko Zagreb, admitted to lifting the card from a wallet in a locker room his team shares with FC Sparka Elektra.
Gaspar then allegedly walked into a store and used the card to buy 36 one-liter bottles of Jagermeister, a 70-proof herbal liqueur.
Later, according to reports, he went to another store and tried to buy 10 more bottles, but the card was declined because of lack of funds and he was subsequently caught.
See what happens when you get greedy.
