New York Yankees star Gary Sheffield and his wife were the targets of a blackmailer who claimed to have embarrassing sexual videotapes of her and a musician, the slugger said Tuesday.
``I will not be blackmailed. I will not have my family dragged through the mud and filth,'' Sheffield said in a statement read by his Chicago-based business agent, Rufus Williams.
The Yankees outfielder said his wife, DeLeon, ``had a long-term relationship with a well known professional singer over 10 years ago.'' Sheffield said he had known about the relationship, which came before the couple married.
``I have not seen the alleged videotape, nor do I care to,'' Sheffield said in his statement. ``I love my wife and I vow again to stand by her through any trial or tribulation.''
"Give me money, Sheffield, or else I'll print this interview with you in Sports Illustrated that makes you look like an ass!"
"Too late."
Agent: Tell you what, sir. From now on, you'll be, uh, Homer Thompson at Terror Lake. Let's just practise a bit, hmm? When I say, "Hello, Mr. Thompson," you'll say, "Hi." Homer: Check. Agent: Hello, Mr. Thompson. Homer: [stares blankly] Agent: Remember now, your name is Homer Thompson. Homer: I gotcha. Agent: Hello, Mr. Thompson. Homer: [stares blankly] [A long time later] Agent: [sighs in frustration] Now, when I say, "Hello, Mr. Thompson," and press down on your foot, you smile and nod. Homer: No problem. Agent: Hello, Mr. Thompson! [stomps on Homer's foot a few times] Homer: [stares blankly then says to other agent] I think he's talking to you.....
I think that Winn replacing the revolving left field door will add some stability to the outfield. It will be a huge defensive upgrade as well over Ruben Sierra and Mark MeLemore in left.
