Are you wondering what new Boston Red Sox pitcher Vicente Padilla, New York Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie and former NFL player Travis Henry have in common? You are? Well…….
The thing they have in common is the fact that they have all fathered multiple children.
Henry has 11 kids while Cromartie has nine. And on Thursday morning, we learned that Padilla has at least 10 kids.
According to the Nicaragua Dispatch, there is an arrest warrant out for him for not paying child support for his 10th child. The paper reports that he has failed to make child support payments in the amount of $540. They have revoked his passport meaning he can’t leave the country right now.
Peter Abraham of the Boston Globe reports that the arrest warrant has been dropped but he still has immigration issues to take care of.
Padilla is expected to compete with a slew of others for the final spot in the Red Sox rotation during spring training this year. But if he can’t work out those immigration issues in time to report on February 19th, there’s a chance he could fall behind in the competition.
What gets me is the fact that he uses a glove on the mound but doesn’t use a “glove” in other situations.
