Oregan State Baseball Players Arrested For Shooting Cans

Oregan state baseball players Jose Reyes and John Wallace were arrested recently for disregarding the common rule that you can’t use firearms in an area riddled with people and things that move. We thought Spring Break practices included beaches and women?

Lt. Dave Henslee said the men reportedly used a .22-caliber rifle to shoot at soda cans in the backyard of Maxwell’s house in the 200 block of Northwest 14th Avenue early Tuesday, and eight of the bullets went through a fence.

Three bullets hit property owned by a neighbor. Two hit a car, one shattering a window, then continuing on to hit the windshield. The third bullet went through a bedroom window, through a coat hanging on a wall, before striking a second wall.

In their defense, someone should check out the penetrability factor of that fence. Seriously, how could all of those bullets get through there? A student also shunned from normal Spring Break lunacy detailed the incident for reporters:

“One shot went through my bedroom window, ricocheted off the wall and landed on my bed,” Brian Bodtker, one of seven students who lives in the house on the other side of the fence, told the newspaper.
Bodtker, who was not home when the bullets flew, said he reported the incident to police Tuesday, but didn’t know until the following day that the players were the alleged shooters.

Reyes was the Most Outstanding Player of last year’s College World Series and such an honor should immediately institute a “cool factor” persona, resulting in hobbies that are unequivocally hip. The kid’s got a lot to learn.
