I wanted to see if the Benny's House community thought it was worthwhile to post. beaverdude did. You can choose not to read LH off field stuff. The thread title is pretty clear about the topic. |

This is a good read and deserves a place on this board. The LH matter is going to be remembered as an off-field event that has had the most negative impact on an individual baseball player in the history of the program. Up until now, I have not read a perspective from a credible, competent legal source indicating how LH's case was wrongly handled. You probably haven't, either. It is an individual choice as to whether or not you want to read it. But there is no denying that this matter still affects Beaver Baseball.

Thanks for posting, beaverdude. The attached letter states very eloquently (but not succinctly) why some on this board were saying last year that LH was hosed, harmed financially, emotionally, personally, etc. by individuals that were guilty of journalistic malpractice and character assassination. Just as someone cannot yell "fire" in a crowded theatre and hide behind freedom of speech, DM and the whoregonian should not be able to hide behind immunity of the press and their first amendment rights while putting out false information and destruction on a young man's character - BS!
It is one of the reasons why I will always despise DM and the dead fish wrapper. It also underscores why IMHO we cannot really calculate the damage that was done to LH and OSU for digging up this unnecessary dirt. What was lost? A potential MVP award for the CWS? Another CWS title? The value of a first round contract with a MLB team?
I can understand why LH did not seek a massive settlement in court from the fish wrapper at the time, but if he doesn't get his day in the sun this year, if the beavers are not able to make it to the CWS - the Portlandian royally deserves to be hit with a multi-million dollar lawsuit, equal to or greater than the value of the contract they cost him this past year. I think the letter closes with a subtle suggestion they are liable. Just one man's opinion.

No, that statement you highlighted pertains to the opening sentence of the paragraph. One of the possible reasons that LH didn't go after the fish wrapper when it happened was having his record purged in August (which he did), playing for another year with the beavs, then hopefully getting drafted. Still won't make what they did to him right, but would erase much of the pain and suffering they caused him last season. Without that motivation to take the long view on his possible MLB career, or not minding having a rag destroy your life, why wait on the lawsuit? Oh, that's right, we are just supposed to be good little victims and not seek justice, right? Ultimate freedom of the press?  |

Thank you for pointing out the obvious to some of us, why our society is so screwed up, and chaos now reigns. Too many people view accountability as vengeance. Holding Danny Moron, John Crapzano and the fish wrapper financially accountable for unnecessarily harming the university and his expected earnings is both justice and accountability - if he has no case, which I think he does, then a judge/ jury should agree with the Portlandian, right? Vengeance is putting either or both of them in the hospital, etc. - which is not what I am advocating. |
