Shin-Soo Choo the Latest Aboard the Train of MLB DUI Arrests

Posted on May 4, 2011 by Antonio Irizarry

As the season progresses, Major League Baseball continues to rack up the DUI's.  The latest culprit is Cleveland Indian outfielder Shin-Soo Choo.  Choo was arrested early Monday morning after reportedly asking police officers for assistance finding his residence.  Choo went ahead and failed a breathalyzer and field sobriety test, blowing a .20, more than double the legal limit of .08.  Choo, who was recently named Sports Illustrated's most underrated player by his peers, went 0-4 with 5 runners left on base the day after his DUI arrest.  

Evan Brunell from CBS Sports brings up a great point by questioning when the MLB is going to take these off the field incidents seriously and punish players for their actions.  Will Major League Baseball wait for a tragedy to occur, or will they go ahead and establish a personal conduct policy like the NFLhas?  I guess any publicity that isn't about steroid use has become acceptable to Major League Baseball.
