I think if I had a little league and I wanted to invite a player to come talk to the kids, I'd choose a guy who is a little farther removed from all of his past indiscretions. Did you know that (according to Wikipedia) the Nationals hired a person with the title "Special Assistant: Player Concerns" who accompanies Dukes everywhere to ensure that he keeps himself out of trouble?

He has a incredibly long list of things where he messed up and can share how those decisions have hurt him as a person and a ballplayer. Again though, that would be on a volunteer basis, not a paid appearance.

The little league has volunteered to pay the fine, but they haven't concluded their fundraiser yet and haven't yet signed the check. When they do, the $501 will go to MLB No, I think it’s clear he was paid $500 for the appearance.

They are so ridiculous. Thank God the Nationals left Montreal, since i don’t have anymore love for this team. They are so ridiculous.
