Ordinarily, I wouldn’t bother with a story like this. After all, we weren’t there and more importantly–we’ve got our own problems. But, I chose to run this because of the last line of the intoductory paragraph on the website. Randy is born-again. After listening to how non-born agains have not taken Jesus Christ as their Lord and Personal Savior (or is it personal Lord and savior), I feel it is important for the nation’s ballast to realize that (a) one should keep one’s religion to oneself and (b) (a)
Big Unit Gets Stingy With Love Child
Randy Johnson seeking rebate for “secret” daughter child support.
MARCH 27–Sure, Randy Johnson may earn $16 million annually pitching for the New York Yankees, but that hasn’t stopped the baseball star from trying to legally nickel and dime a woman with whom he had a “secret” child out of wedlock. The All-Star athlete, 42, last month filed a court petition–a copy of which you’ll find below–seeking a rebate for $750-a-month day care payments he has provided over the past eight years to the mother of the pair’s 16-year-old daughter. The child was born in September 1989, but it wasn’t until nearly nine years later that Johnson and Laurel Roszell, 46, entered into a custody/support agreement and the so-called Big Unit began making payments. In an interview, Roszell told TSG that she chose not to seek financial support until 1997 and that Johnson has met their daughter once, while she was still hospitalized following her birth. Asked if Johnson, whom she lived with early in his Major League career, has ever acknowledged their daughter, Roszell replied, “Nope. Nothing. Never.”
