Mitch Williams wants to Cuss Around Your Kids
Posted by Thomas the Terrible on March 12, 2008
Whenever Williams was on the mound, his nervous teammate Curt Schilling was caught by CBS television cameras burying his face in a towel. Schilling’s behavior not only irked Mitch Williams (who, to this day, harbors bitter feelings towards Schilling), but also fellow Phillies teammates like Larry Andersen and Danny Jackson, who (on the Top 5 Reasons You Can’t Blame… episode about Mitch Williams) accused Schilling of purposely trying to get more camera time. Of course Schilling has two rings Williams does not. Go figure.
Now the former MLB pitcher Mitch Williams not only revels in the fact he is the reason the Phillies lost the 1993 World Series by lobbing a ball to Joe Carter, but also wants to curse around kids.
Whenever Williams isn’t hocking his salsa he is enlightening nuns and kids to the wonderful world of four letter words. The former Phillies hurler cursed at a female referee who was calling a basketball game in which his daughter, a fifth-grader, was playing for St. Mary of the Lakes against Our Lady of Good Counsel.
Williams has admitted to being sorry that he used the f-word while yelling at the ref. “I’m emotional when it comes to my kids. What I saw happening was completely unfair,” Williams said, referring to his daughter’s team being fouled repeatedly with a lack of calls from the refs. He then added that he thinks the uglier of the nuns are a bunch of c-words like the refs.
The apology isn’t doing much for Ron Martin, who oversees referees as the Camden Board 34 independent assigner. He said yesterday that he called St. Mary of the Lakes to say that although the season ended last night, if Williams “is going to appear at any games next year, we will not officiate them. If he enters the gym in the middle of a game, we will stop officiating.” Martin is executive editor of the Burlington County Times.
“A lot of people challenge calls, but when someone hits on one of the magic words, we can’t tolerate that stuff,” he said. Martin said Williams’ outburst is “not indicative of St. Mary’s athletic program. There are some great people over there,” he said. The 33-year-old female referee declined comment yesterday.
Mitch shouldn’t mess with the refs especially when they’re the press as well. The next leg of the 2008 “Curse like a Sailor or a Former Relief Pitcher Tour” will feature Williams cursing out the homeless of Philadelphia, the Pope & orphans.

I told a priest to go fornicate himself once. Does that make me eligible for the “Mitch Williams” Award?

No, if you told a priest to “fornicate” himself that makes you eligible for the “Iron” Mike Tyson Award…
