Former MLB pitcher and Tigers announcer the king of the DUI?

speaking of monster blows, this from fox news dot com:

"KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. — Authorities say a woman found in a car in Klamath County had a blood alcohol level of .72 percent, nine times greater than the legal limit for driving.

Sheriff Tim Evinger said it's rare to see readings higher than .30 percent. Levels of .40 percent to .50 percent are considered lethal.

Evinger said Terri Comer, 42, had been heading to her home in Keno last month, southeast of Klamath Falls.

An off-duty deputy found her in the car, which had plowed through about 100 feet of snow. Ambulance workers had to break a back window to rescue her.

Evinger said she was unconscious for 12 hours but released after a day in the hospital.

He said she was charged with drunken driving."

someone beat that.

 

No, that's 0.48 percent, I believe

 

blood is overrated.

 

Maybe it's just me, but I think the doctor was genuinly excited by this news. He probably wants Sorensen to come in for testing.

 

It's more potent than clamato and beer, that's for sure.

 

Ok.

 

I was thinking he probably would like to buy the guy a drink.

 

I think it's actually 0.48 percent, not 48 percent.

Still, I thought .40 was a coma and .50 was guaranteed death. Holy crap.

Ya know, I find myself sometimes thinking how easy it is to blow a .08 (it's like, two drinks within an hour for an average male) and how badly it would suck to get pulled over for something like that.

But this guy, this guy wasn't fucking around. He's like the Bob Beamon of drunk drivers.

 

I bet some SportsJournalists.commers could do it.

 

i saw that as a quick hitter on the nightly news a few nights ago. and i don't know, .72 is fucked up. it takes someone special to blow that high and still breath our air in the morning.

 

Bob Beamon and Al Oerter combined.

On a couple of his previous arrests:

2004: .31 BAC

1999: .35 BAC (which he followed up with a .23 while out on bond for the .35 arrest).
