8/21/12 Update: Fan Arrested for Nabbing Home Run Ball, Coach Sends Naughty Texts

From Yahoo Sports:

The fan who retrieved Adam Dunn‘s 400th career home run from the Kauffman Stadium fountains on Saturday night, however, did not receive that opportunity. Dan Hayes of CSN Chicago reports that the fan — who was wearing a Kevin Youkilis jersey at the time of his dive — was arrested and stripped of the ball after emerging from the waters in Kansas City’s left field with a small slice of Chicago White Sox history.

Also: an Alabama gym teacher/wrestling coach accused of sending sexually explicit texts to underage girl. Meanwhile, over in Florida, police arrested a Tallahassee High School girls softball coach who they say contacted a teenaged girl on the internet for sex.

And finally: watch were you ride your bike in Northern California! An 81-year-old man was arrested for running down a bike rider with his car, even going so far as to chase him onto a local golf course before running him down. The rider only suffered a broken arm and the “golf course road rager” has been arrested.

Golf Champion Attacks Caddie at 19th Hole Over Girlfriend

Usually golfers are pretty calm and non-violent. But apparently not Rudolph Hermstadt, a Connecticut amateur golf champion. Seems that he and his caddie got into it after a round last week and the cause wasn’t poor club selection. It appears to be over a woman. More from WTNH:

The Republican-American newspaper reports 37-year-old Rudolph Hermstadt, is scheduled to appear in Superior Court next week on charges of third-degree assault and breach of peace. Police say Hermstadt was captured on a surveillance video choking and punching 41-year-old Jeremy Eterginio of Prospect inside the 19th Hole Cafe at the East Mountain Golf Course on July 22.

Hermstadt told the newspaper the fight stemmed from an argument over Eterginio’s relationship with Hermstadt’s fiancee.  He says Eterginio is no longer his caddie or his friend.

Movie Trailer: Attack of the 50 Ft Cheerleader

Usually we don’t promote movies here, but we thought we would make an exception this time since it does appear that this movie has something to do with cheerleading or something. Here’s more about the film from Dread Central:

From legendary producer Roger Corman, the director of Dinoshark, and the screenwriter of Sharktopus comes Attack of the 50 Foot Cheerleader. The EPIX original movie is set to premiere on that network August 25th, and in anticipation of the premiere they’ve released a slew of video clips.

Former Georgia Teen USA 2007 Jena Sims stars as Cassie Stratford, an aspiring college cheerleader who consumes an experimental drug that grants her beauty and enough athletic ability to make the cheer squad. It also has a very unfortunate side effect that you should be able to ascertain from the film’s title.
