Worst Person in Sports #3-Scott Williamson

Tom Williamson is putting his 2004 World Series ring up for auction. WHAT AN IDIOT! I don’t care how strapped for cash you are. Why would you sell a piece of sports history?

Was it guilt because he didn’t play a key role in the Sox’ winning the series? Only this scum knows.

If you are interested in purchasing this wondrous piece of history, here’s a picture of the stones and its ungrateful owner.

Last night, the San Francisco Giants pushed the Texas Rangers off a Cliff by winning the pitcher’s duel turned slugfest 11-7.
