Tabata's 43 Year Old Wife Questioned in Infant Abduction

No comment, really. But I have to fill up the word limit, so I guess I have to say something. Maybe it was just one of those cute baby abductions like in Raising Arizona. Anyway, from the story she appears to have an arrest history and due to various aliases the police can't figure out where she is from originally. Maybe it was like Susan Sarandon in Bull Durham, she's just into young ballplayers and William Blake. Oh, and baby kidnapping.

I quote Farnsworth:

“Some people say that I’m robbing the cradle, but I say that she’s robbing the grave!”

Fans are typically idiots.

That does sound kind of weird

I guess I can see where some of the “makeup” concerns about Tabata might come from, although it’s kind of a surprise to just be hearing about this now…

Maybe he needs glasses

May help him take a few more walks. As one guy in my league put it, 43 year olds sure can cook.

Let's see

I’m a top prospect. I could be on the verge of making a lot of money very, very soon. And rather than choose the 19-year-old hottie who hangs out in front of the team hotel and slips me her number after the game, i choose …

he can have her

of course, a woman twice my age plus 3 years would be 91, but I draw the line at literal cradle-robbers/convicted arsonists.

It was probably some sort of marriage of convenience for the both of them

Akin to something like these situations talked about in this ESPN story.

interesting....

it would explain a lot.

wait. what?

was it well known before this, um, event that Tabata was married to a 43-year-old?

by Darryl P on Mar 25, 2009 7:50 PM EDT reply actions

I had no idea

And I didn’t even look at the espn.com article because I didn’t know A) it was about Tabata, and B) that his wife will be hanging out with his mom at whatever Pittsburgh country club they choose. Also, does Pittsburgh have country clubs?

Rios is the next Juan Gonzales, thats right, I said it.
