What the Vrabel/Russini situation somewhat reminds me of [View all]

Some of you might be old enough to remember an All Star pitcher for the White Sox named Richard Dotson, believe he was also a 20-game winner in the ‘80s and pitched for the 1983 Winning Ugly squad.

Then he finds out decades later, at almost 60, the man whom he knew was his father actually wasn’t his father and it was an MLB All-Star pitcher named Turk Farrell, and to the best of everyone’s ability, no evidence exists one knew the other. And guess what? His father’s name was Richard.

Fast forward to now, where it’s coming out of inappropriate pictures of Russini and Vrabel together just before COVID shut the world down, before she got married later that year and she had her first born in 2021. The son’s name, wait for it, is Michael.

I really fear Vrabel is that boy’s father. I feel for the spouses and children in all of this, really do.
