Joba Finally Says He’s Sorry
A month later and finally Joba apologizes publicly for the DUI. It’s great that he wants to give kids and fans the right message and turn this into a positive. But you have to wonder if the Yankees could have done the same with Jim Leyritz. Instead of letting him visit Girardi and others in the clubhouse, maybe banning him would have sent the young guys like Joba a stern warning that could potentially save future lives.
At least Joba is taking some personal responsibility, unlike Leyritz who chooses to blame the woman he killed.
