Ian Kennedy Had a Vasospasm: Good grief. That's His Business and Nobody Elses

The tell-all media has gone too far.

We're now learning that Ian Kennedy in Scranton developed a vasospasm, and he'll be out for a while.

We wish him the best. And dammit, there's no stigma. We're all children under God. We should all be treated with a little respect now and then. So what if the guy has a vasospasm! Does that mean his good name has to be dragged through the gutters and broadcast over the airwaves?

Are all of you so perfect that you can sit in judgement of a guy with a vasospasm. He's only doing what's human. He's only being a guy. Ohhhh, but I can just see you readers, talking to each other on your cells and giggling like little girls, making fun of him. "Guess who's got a vasospasm." You're worse than the big construction clods who made fun of Don Notts in "The Ghost and Mister Chicken." And you know what happened to them? They were proven to be clods.

I for one give full support for Ian Kennedy, and I don't care what he does in his personal time. As long as he's not having vasospasms on the mound in Yankee Stadium, in front of rich children, he has a right to be himself. Whatever puts a smile on his face is OK with me, as long as it doesn't bother his wife, endanger youth and break any laws.

Leave him alone.
