TheBigLead - The Cincinnati Reds pitcher was arrested this afternoon for allegedly stealing from Macy’s. According to the Cincinnati Enquirer, “Leake, of Ludlow, was arrested after Macy’s department store loss prevention employees stopped the Reds pitcher today after they say he took $59.88 in property from the store. Police said the incident was caught on security cameras.” [UPDATE: American Rag t-shirts. That's weak.] You’re obviously curious what Leake – the team’s No. 1 draft pick in 2009, who is 2-0 this year – makes, right? The answer: $425,000.
So, if someone told me that this dude in the mugshot stole $60 worth of stuff from Macy's, I would have bet good money that he was just some stoner who stole a test bottle of Acqua Di Gio and a box of Frango Mints. But it turns out he is Mike Leake, starting pitcher for the Red's, who needed a few t-shirts. I guess he is just trying to save some money now, since he knows he will be out of baseball in two years after Dusty has destroys his arm.
P.S. - After looking at the mugshot more, I'm not ruling out that Mike Leake is a stoner and just ate the Frango Mints in the store where the camera's couldn't see him.
