Burgos Arrested With White Sox Cap

Mets RP and future inmate Ambiorix Burgos surrendered himself to the police in the Dominican Republic for killing two women in a hit and run. Burgos will spend the next three months in jail while he awaits a trial. His cousin, who was driving with him in the passenger seat turned himself in saying that he commited the crime trying to save Ambiorix's career. However an eye witness stated that Burgos was in the car and thus Burgos is being charged, rightfully so.

In a post for Big League Stew, 'Duk has posted a picture of Ambiorix Burgos being taken into custody by Dominican police officers. He was wearing a Chicago White Sox Cap with a shirt reading "I GOT QUACK QUACK QUACK". Not to mention a smile on his face and an expensive watch on his wrist.

I have a couple of problems with this picture of Burgos. First off why is he wearing a Chicago White Sox hat? You would think that a man being taken into custody would wear something more professional rather than a high class "gangster". I've seen most professionals taken into custody wear something more professional not to hurt their image. And I wonder why a man that killed two women a week ago would be smiling when being taken to a miserable place where he wil likely be spending a lot of time.

I feel bad for Ambiorix's carrer now being ruined and I'm glad he did the right thing and turned himself in. Burgos was traded for now Royals pitcher Brian Bannister. Bannister hasn't had a great carrer so far in Kansas City but he has been healthier than Burgos who missed all of this year due to elbow surgery.
