Former Indians pitcher Stanford pleads not guilty to disorderly conduct charge
September 21, 2007
CLEVELAND (AP) -- Former Cleveland Indians pitcher Jason Stanford pleaded not guilty Friday to a charge of disorderly conduct involving an alleged scuffle in a nightclub district.
Stanford, 30, who was designated for assignment by the Indians on Aug. 4, appeared in Cleveland Municipal Court with his attorney.
He was released on $250 bond, and the case was scheduled for an Oct. 30 trial.
Police arrested Stanford about 2:45 a.m. Thursday in the Warehouse District after he allegedly scuffled with a man, knocking off his glasses.
Stanford was arrested in the same area two years ago on a disorderly conduct charge that was cleared off his record after he finished a diversion program for first-time offenders, according to court spokesman George Yarbrough.
Stanford appeared in eight games for Cleveland, going 1-1 with a 4.78 ERA.

While I dislike homophobic behavior possibly as much as you do, I'm sorry to have to suggest that it may be more common in MLB (and professional sports in general) than we might like. Not that it's an excuse or a defense, just something to consider.
Not being from Cleveland, the reference to the "west 6th district" is lost on me.

Re: Jason Stanford
Well hanging out in West 6th district is kinda lame, it has kind of taken over for what the "flats" used to be (dance clubs filled with underage girls and terrible restaurants).

Re: Jason Stanford
I suppose it's also worth pointing out that the Indians have been very sensitive to character issues since Bradley -- remember how hard they worked to justify acquiring Michaels (from a personality perspective, anyway)? This team has resuscitated Jason Stanford at least three times by my count. If this incident is worth getting fired about, there won't be a fourth.

Re: Jason Stanford
I would just nitpick that while the average major leaguer may not be a cool dude, Stanford is actually a below-average major leaguer, or if you prefer, a minor leaguer.
