    Which is the problem.

    So what if he has a J.D.? Not every lawyer out there has a boatload of street smarts or common sense.

    According to a press conference in St. Louis ...

    Hancock was legally drunk (nearly twice legal limit), was speeding (68 in a 55), talking on his cell phone and not wearing a seat belt when he crashed.

    The police also found eight grams of marijuana in his vehicle.

    Story will hit wire soon.

    No link, but just heard St Louis police reporting Hamilton was legally drunk at the time of the accident.

    Well, that changes the angle of the story. I'm just glad he didn't kill anyone else.

    Who gets to be the first person to ask LaRussa about this?

    God, that sucks for his family.

    wouldn't that be "illegally" drunk? ???

    If you are LaRussa -- who was recently arrested for drunk driving - how do you answer the question?

    Not surprising at all.

    Also wouldn't be surprised to see a number in the .16 - .22 range. Hopefully, not higher than that.

    And the picture of the car in the msnbc article is sickening. Ought to be used as a visual to warn folks of the dangers of drunk driving

    Edit: stltoday article reports .157.

    And he was talking on the cell phone at the time.

    The P-D story doesn't include this, but the police said Hancock was also talking on his cell phone and not wearing a seat belt.

    Actually, it mentions the cell in the first graf.

    Cardinals relief pitcher Josh Hancock was legally drunk last Sunday when he plowed his car into the back of a tow truck parked on Highway 40, officials announced this morning. He also was talking on a cell phone at the time he crashed.
