Seven men said they were molested as bat boys

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Associated Press

TAMPA, Fla. -- Seven men who said they were molested as bat boys at the Boston Red Sox's spring training camp settled their lawsuit against the team for an undisclosed amount.

The men were seeking more than $3 million in a 2001 federal lawsuit. The case was scheduled for trial in the fall, but U.S. District Court records said a settlement was reached and the case was dismissed in December.

Red Sox attorney Daniel Goldberg declined to comment on the case. Attorneys for the defendants could not immediately be reached for comment Wednesday. Court records say the terms of the settlement are confidential.

Former clubhouse manager Donald James Fitzpatrick pleaded guilty in May 2002 to reduced charges of attempted sexually battery on a child under 12 and paid four of the men $10,000 each in restitution.

He was sentenced to 15 years' probation and a 10-year suspended prison sentence.

Fitzpatrick was accused of hiring boys from Winter Haven to work at the Red Sox's spring training camp and molesting them, starting in the 1970s. The team moved from Winter Haven to Fort Myers in 1991.

Fitzpatrick retired in 1991 after a 21-year-career with the team.

The Red Sox have denied knowing of the abuse and said the team cooperated with the investigation.

That's just like them. Trade a third baseman that's done nothing but hit the shit out of the ball for a closer that can't pitch in Yankee Stadium. Good job, Sox!

The Red Sox and Yankees are both gay.

The Cubs are winning it all folks. They won't even need to buy rent-a-players coming down the stretch.

You'll see the light.

Clement will come around. Prior and Wood are already there. Sosa is back tomorrow. And, Belhorn will get a feel for his swing.

National League Cy Young = Prior
Rookie of the Year = Choi

I can't decide which team is funnier...or sadder.
After Manny's stellar performance during the NY series, I hope the Red Sox never win a thing, and Manny's shitty arm falls off from muscle atrophy.

If you didn't have a bf and I wasn't in the most wonderful of all relationships, I'd consider kidnapping you and making you my love slave.

Is he on the Astros?

I have to see the pitching matchup before I can comment....but you are right, he will probably still be stuck on 299 next weekend.

The Cubs should have traded Sosa for Soriano straight up.

Cubs will win 2 of 3 that series.

We will discuss the series at a later date....Hopefully Prior and Wood will get their shot. Should be a good series. Too bad brokers are selling tickets for $1,500.
