Got a bottle of batch 41 as a gift a few weeks ago and it is pretty amazing.

That in no way absolves Leyritz of all responsibility, nor excuses drinking and driving, but it likely play a role in acquittal of the manslaughter charges.

“I’m not preaching and i have done plenty of wrong in my life but taking another persons life due to recklessness is not something that should just be brushed off”

and for all the bad i did i NEVER killed anyone. second chances are not always something that should be given.

Glad to know you did everything right in your life and never needed a
second chance…………………
People often say bad things George Steinbrenner but one thing he always
did was give people a second chance.

http://riveraveblues.com/2012/04/jim-leyritz-back-with-yanks-on-personal-services-contract-66888/
and was probably expecting to see some GMs at the bar.

I just get so sick of seeing the Lindsay Lohans and Jim Leyritz’s of the world getting away with this stuff. In my opinion the last place on earth he should be is a bar. He was given this second chance and it should spent doing whatever he can to help others. I’m not preaching and i have done plenty of wrong in my life but taking another persons life due to recklessness is not something that should just be brushed off. and yea… for all we know he spends every waking hour helping all mankind… but i doubt it.

Heh heh. Craig on an….no, no. I can’t go there.

Sometimes things happen for which there is no going back. At that point what matters is what goes forward.

Let me know if you are looking for a personal assistant next year. I can be extremely obsequious if it helps.

Not endorsing anything about Leyritz. Simply noting that he has been given a second chance and, from what I can tell and from what I have been told, he’s trying not to waste it.

If the women don’t get you, the liquor must! Enjoy the libation!

He deserves no second chance but being the celebrity that he is he literally got away with murder. I saw him in Penn station signing autographs a year ago and I was sick to my stomach.
