good talk

Yesterday, in passing, I advised a girl that she had just sneezed on her arm, I sneeze on the floor, find it big and suitable.  Luke Heimlich is a "21" year-old junior at Oregon State, sharp with the books, and was the best-pitcher on the # 1 ranked Oregon State baseball team this season with a record of 11-1 and an ERA of .76.  Sure to be selected very-high in the recent Baseball Draft, Luke wasn't selected at all, as just prior it was revealed that he was a "Registered Sex Offender".  When Luke was "15" he pled-guilty to having molested a very-young girl, a family-member.  Major League Baseball markets itself as family-entertainment, and we can see where they might be loath to have a RSO on one of their teams.  However, Luke was quite-young when he did this, and received counseling, he completed the terms of probation avoiding being sent to a youth-prison.  And he has to register as a Sex Offender for the rest of his life, his category being that of the least-likely to reoffend.  Somebody will give Luke a chance to pitch in the Minors and he'll probably make it to the Major Leagues, and I'll pay to go see him pitch
