Former
White Sox
first baseman
Adam LaRoche
, who retired amidst a storm of controversy in Spring Training, has an outlook different than that of most ballplayers,
ESPNs Tim Keown writes. Now that LaRoche has stepped away from his big-league career after a disagreement with his front office about the presence of his son in his teams clubhouse, hes planning a lengthy RV trip with his family to the Pacific Northwest. LaRoche also stars in a reality show (
Buck Commander) and owns a meat company. And improbably, in November, he joined with Brewers pitcher
Blaine Boyer
and a nonprofit to try to travel to Southeast Asia to go undercover to try to save underage sex slaves.
Something huge happened there for us, says Boyer.
You cant explain it. Cant put your finger on it. If you make a wrong move, youre getting tossed off a building.
Did I read that right?</blockquote>
I read the ESPN article. That entire section troubled me. What exactly did LaRoche and Boyer do in Southeast Asia, which BTW isn't a country, other than provide "surveillance" of underage sex slaves for some Christian activist group? Sounds really fishy to me.
