The killer was found not guilty by reason of insanity (his wife's infidelity had made him insane, according to the defense). Seven months later, he was found to have recovered his sanity and was released. He lived out the rest of his life with no further crimes.

As a Mets fan, it didn't bother me much when Reyes did it a few years ago. I'm much more against it when some other player/team does it.

Sitting
I'm not too impressed with sitting in order to ensure a batting title.
This year of course, Murphy was also sitting so one of the two champs was going to have to play or the results weren't going to change. I wouldn't feel as much that DJ backed into it if Murphy were playing. Sorry Jeremy, the Reyes thing wasn't quite the same. It smelled bad to me at the time, but maybe because I am a Phillies fan and we are supposed to hate all things "Met" Regarding another earlier comment, I disagree that sitting out the last few games is the same as sitting games out in the middle of the season. First off, in June you aren't saving those at-bats thinking it will help you win a batting title...that's ridiculous at best. You rest occasionally during the year to have energy to produce during the long season. This was a deliberate attempt to preserve the top spot in batting average. It cannot be compared to May or June days off. Winning the batting title is a great accomplishment, even with today's advanced stats. There are a lot of big leaguers who would be happy to stake that claim every season. Typically only us hardcore fans remember what details it took to win the crown...( a few classic races mentioned above)

Sitting out to win a title is cowardly. Period. Be a mensch, either win it or lose it by playing. Missing midseason games has nothing to do with it.
