Yankees World Series ring stolen
For the second time in as many months, a 2009 Yankees World Series ring was stolen. This time though, it didn’t involve hookers. The story just became much less interesting.
Tom “Tonto” Kackley, 51, clubhouse manager for the Trenton Thunder, said he realized at around 1:30 a.m. Friday that the ring was missing from a locked drawer in his desk at Trenton’s Waterfront Stadium.
The diamond-encrusted ring had been delivered to him several days earlier.
“I worked for 22 years to get it, and I had it for a week,” he said.
The ring was worth 10,000 dollars and given Tonto’s years of service to the organization, it’s priceless. I do have to question his inability to find a better hiding spot for something that expensive. Hey Tonto, this isn’t a pack of condoms to hide in case some groupie comes into the locker room buddy. Get your a– to a bank and get a safe deposit box. That or, I don’t know, put it on your goddamn finger.
I almost think it’s more respectable to lose it to a hooker. At least there, you get something out of it. Albeit, that something may very well be herpes. It is after all, the gift that keeps on giving.
