Josh Beckett Arrested In Texas

Josh Beckett had a spectacular Major League career. Now, he's facing another fight that looks bad on him.

Beckett was reportedly arrested for public intoxication in Texas after allegedly attacking the singer of a country band at a Texas club.

According to TMZ Sports, officers had arrived on scene and made a determination that the 2003 World Series MVP was "a danger to himself and to others."

The country singer that Beckett attacked is suffering from serious injuries, one of those injuries being a torn rotator cuff, which we usually hear in baseball, not so much from attacking a guy in a club.

Beckett's lawyer told TMZ Sports that this incident was "an act of horseplay" and that Beckett has apologized for his actions. Well, unfortunately, his actions might cost him in this particular one.

Beckett was a tremendous force in MLB for 14 years with the Marlins, Red Sox, and Dodgers before retiring after the 2014 season. He won two World Series, one with the Marlins and another with the Red Sox and was the MVP during the 2003 season when the Marlins won it. Not only that, but he has three All-Star Game selections and two championships.

But this resume might not help him in this next chapter of his life, particularly a black one. I'm not going to go into details about what's going to happen or what might happen. That's up to the courts, but this incident really troubles me on some levels, because horseplay and attacking somebody sometimes go hand-in-hand. You might mean it as horseplay but for the other guy it's an attack. There's no eye-to-eye there unfortunately.

I hope this situation gets resolved with quickly because Josh Beckett shouldn't be in situations like this and I hope it's resolved before it gets any worse.Josh
