    Elijah Dukes, a rookie CF with the Devil Rays has made the news again and obviously not for being a hero.
    Last month, it was found that he left death threats too his estranged wife, now it seems he has gotten a 17 yr old pregnant. This will be his 5th kid with 4 different women.
    Was his role model Shawn Kemp??
    The kid has some real talent but he will find himself out of baseball soon if he cant turn his life around.
    Rays are trying to trade him and supprisingly, the Nationals have shown some interest.
    He makes Carl Everett look like an alter boy.

    A 17-year-old foster girl living with a relative of Elijah Dukes told police the Devil Rays outfielder got her pregnant.

    The girl, expected to give birth Nov. 5, told investigators she and Dukes had consensual sex on the living room sofa. She said Dukes got angry when she and another person confronted him about the pregnancy. "Yeah, we sat down and told him and he got mad and threw a Gatorade at me," she told investigators. Dukes is already known to have had at least five children with four different women. This is yet another incident that could add to the Rays' desire to ship him out of town.

    Man, this kid is a mess. Somewhere along the line, someone failed him miserably.

    Apparently Dukes' dad never told him to use protection.

    It was probably when his father murdered a crack dealer for selling his mother bad crack.

    Probably.

    Marchman is excellent. A highlight:

    Dukes has stormed into the classroom in which his wife teaches and threatened her, necessitating his removal by a school security guard; two other women who have borne children by Dukes have filed restraining orders against him, and four different women have successfully sued him for child support.

    If you're under 24, Florida is 16. Isn't Dukes a youngster?

    Even worse, how about those countries in black? If 12 is the lowest they show AoC for, then those must be 11 or younger. :eek:hmy:

    Looks like Florida is 18 cause if you look @ Georgia that's 16 and Flo is More like the Green of 18.
    Now , are you saying that if the other person is 24 or Younger it drops to 16?

    I might be reading it wrong, but it looks like its 12 in Canada.

    Edit: I was, its 14. Thats still way too young.
