It was a terrible thing when St. Louis Cardinal pitcher Josh Hancock died in a car accident at the end of April. I felt especially bad for the organization, his teammates and family when it was announced that he was drunk at the time and that there was pot found in the car. Afterall, they were still reeling and dealing with their loss and the media would not let up to get a story.
An AP story today says that Hancock's father has filed a lawsuit against the restaurant where Hancock had been drinking, the tow truck that he crashed into and the owner of the stalled car the tow truck was trying to help. He is blaming everyone except for the person who was responsible - his son. Nobody forced him to drink, nobody forced him to drive (in fact I believe the people at the restaurant tried to get him to take a cab) and nobody but Josh crashed his car. I'm sure that his father is still in a lot of pain with the loss of his son, but he should accept the fact that it was his son that made the bad decisions that led to his death - and that it was very lucky he didn't any innocent people.
