Former Detroit Tigers standout Denny McLain arrested

And no Mick around to help him out…

Former Detroit Tigers pitcher Denny McLain is back in jail for failing to appear in court on a civil matter and told police he’s broke, authorities said Friday.

Livingston County Sheriff Bob Bezotte said he spoke to McLain after he was arrested by sheriff’s deputies at 3 p.m. Friday. He said McLain told him he didn’t know what the missed court appearance in Livingston County was about, except that it centered on money issues.

Bezotte said McLain also told him he couldn’t meet the $175,000 bail - or 10 percent.

“He said he doesn’t have the money to post bail,” Bezotte said.

Bezotte said Oakland County Sheriff’s deputies showed up at McLain’s home in Hamburg Township with eviction papers and to seize some property. While doing that, police discovered a warrant had been issued for McLain’s arrest. Livingston County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the home to arrest him.

The last time he was arrested it was "Former Tigers broadcaster Denny McLain arrested". This paper is more knowledgeable about his true accomplishments.

Is there a BTF pool for "When Denny McLain gets arrested" each year like there is for when Rich Harden goes on the DL?

Repoz has a macro for this headline.

The implied headline Denny McLain wasn't in jail yesterday is much more surprising to me.

When I lived in western Ontario 20 years ago I watched a Detroit sports talk show called Eli and Denny. Can anyone tell me if this was the same Denny? I recall my Tiger fan buddy telling me they changed the mound height the year he got all his wins.

I feel young when I read that McLain is still getting arrested.

I feel for my wallet when I read that McLain is still getting arrested.

I fear for my wallet when I read that he's still out on the street.

FWIW, I went to his website and he has an entry blog for his readers. Most of them were all fawning fanboy BS so I decided to call a spade a spade and entered: "Hey, Denny. Tell us an embezzlement story!"

Really. Every time he gets arrested, I am shocked, because I assume he is still serving time for his various crimes.

If there ever was a perfect candidate for the Three Strikes Law, wouldn't it be Denny?

When I think of McLain, I think of Mantle's 535th.
