He is charged with killing a woman in Broward County Florida.

FORT LAUDERDALE - Jim Leyritz, the former Major League Baseball player known as “The King,” was arrested and charged with DUI manslaughter Friday morning following an accident that killed another driver, police said.

Leyritz, 44, was traveling north-bound on Southwest Seventh Avenue when he passed a red light and crashed with another car around 3:30 a.m., said Fort Lauderdale police spokeswoman Kathy Collins.

The accident happened at the intersection of Southwest Second Street and Seventh Avenue. A 30-year-old woman traveling west-bound on Second Street was ejected from her car, Collins said.

She was pronounced dead at Broward General Medical Center.

Leyritz was charged with manslaughter and DUI property damage after an investigation, Collins said.

Leyritz played with the New York Yankees in the ’90s, earning his nickname after htting the last home run in Game 4 of the 1999 World Series.

If found guilty and sent to jail, it will be a shame will Leyritz’s famous homer gets bloted out by one foolish night of excess

…the Texas Rangers really stink.

Thank goodness I am not a big baseball fan. (Of course, growing up rooting for the Rangers explains, on balance, why I am not a big baseball fan.)

At least, that’s my reaction to the question in this headline at the Star-Telegram: Do Rangers finally have future ace?

Sammy may be headed for the minors for the Rangers–so reports the Star-Telegram: Slammin’ Sammy returning?

One source said the Rangers would offer Sosa a minor league contract loaded with incentives with an invitation to spring training.

The question becomes, which is more pathetic: Sammy or the Rangers in this case?

I guess the Rangers have very little lose, so why not?
