Hideki Irabu arrested for assault
August 20th, 2008
One of the original players to come here from Japan and an enormous bust, ex-Yankee Hideki Irabu has been arrested in Japan. He allegedly assaulted a bar manager after drinking 20 mugs of beer when the credit card machine didn’t read his plastic. The former pitcher — too bad he was drinking mugs and not pitchers, greater synergy — grabbed the manager by the collar, pushed him against the wall and yanked his hair, the official said. He also threw ashtrays and beer bottles, prompting staff to call police. Seems like the player George Steinbrenner once called a "fat toad" still is having issues with wildness.
