Wife of Pirates Minor Leaguer Arrested for Kidnapping Infant

[OldFatGuy]

This is a weird one.

Bond was set Wednesday at $750,000 for the suspect, 43-year-old Amalia Tabata Pereira, during a hearing in Manatee County court. Pereira, the wife of a minor-league baseball player in the Pittsburgh Pirates organization, faces charges of interference with child custody, kidnapping, false imprisonment and child abuse, authorities said.

I think her husband is Jose Tabata. A 20 year old in the Pirates minor league organization.

Anyone else think there's something a lot more going on here besides me???

At least Tabata isn't a National

How can it be interference with child custody and kidnapping if she married the child? Oh wait.

[BINGLEBOP]

I think he could do much, much better. Did she lie about being pregnant or something with plans to kidnap a child?



Oh well, he's probably waiting until he reaches the Major Leagues before he takes a step up.

A very strange story.

Excellent comedy in the BTF thread.

Gotta admit, HGM, the one that said "She should've taken one of Octomom's babies, nobody would've known one was missing" made this old fat guy cackle. That was funny.

I guess he has a bad eye at the plate and away from the plate.

Anyone else notice the age difference? She is 43, he is 20...

Totally went right over our heads.

Thanks for catching that.

I just wish the Yankees hadn't traded him.

You gotta admit, if the New York rags had this story to write about over a Yankee, it would've been even funnier.

Not taking anything away from the Pennsylvania press of course. Well, yeah, actually I am.

This is kinda like the opposite of Elijah Dukes.

That was one of the very strange things I noticed first.

I liked this exchange from the BTF thread:

The headline on the story at the team's web site is interesting:

Pirates' wife implicated in abduction

Is she married to more than one Pirate?

Given the story thus far, would you be that surprised?

At this point, it wouldn't surprise me if she were married to several actual pirates.

I liked this exchange from the BTF thread:

So the Pirates are polygamists? I have heard rumors about mass marriages to hideous transsexuals by the Pirates owners, but I have never had it confirmed.... I wonder if this has to do with where Andy Van Slyke went??
