Taylor Mattingly does not enjoy being insulted by text message. He proved this by going insane on his mother this week. Apparently, Mattingly received a text and promptly went to her house so he could tear it apart. Taylor Mattingly was a 42nd round draft pick by the New York Yankees in 2003. He quit baseball due to nagging shoulder problems.
Via TMZ:
The son of former New York Yankees star Don Mattingly was arrested in Evansville, Indiana yesterday after cops say he shoved his poor mother to the ground — then spit in her face.
According to an affidavit acquired by The Evansville Courier & Press, 24-year-old Taylor Mattingly told cops he jumped the fence at his mom’s house to confront her over an insulting text message she sent to him.
Taylor also admitted he “snapped” and flipped over a patio table, broke a door and window and tossed furniture into the walls of their pool house.
Mattingly was booked in the county jail and faces preliminary charges of battery by bodily waste, battery and criminal mischief. He was released on $250 cash bond.
Lucky for him, the jail’s camera was broken at the time — so no mugshot for the hall of shame.
