when you find a child offender post it everywhere. on baseball blogs, on billboards, and stick it to the telephone poles…....if it were your child who was victimized you would not be so selective in how the word gets out….this pervert needs to be exposed by all media options possible, including baseball, football, and yes..cheerleading blogs, girls soccer , girls field hockey etc.

I played with and against Lindsey in high school. This is really sad news. However, I don’t think anybody looks to kindly on this stuff and hopefully he gets what he deserves. Good reporting, Josh. The public should know all about sex offenders, especially when it involves kids. Even worse, he is working in Education. Why shouldn’t it be published? Are you guys kidding me?

I never saw anything posted here about Bill Menchen, former Kennedy coach who was in the paper numerous times. Are we selective about which coaches and which crimes we write about?

You are all ridiculous. This is a HS Baseball blog, and this guy was a HS Baseball coach. It definitely belongs on this blog. When I went to ESPN.com the other day, I saw a headline for the Jacksonville player that was shot and had to have his leg amputated. Obviously ESPN didn’t say “hey that’s a criminal/social/human interest story, so it belongs on CNN and not ESPN!”. Josh is doing his job by reporting on a story that directly effects a HS baseball coach. It’s not like he posted something on the strength coach for the baseball team. I feel bad for the coach, but let’s not start nit-picking on what kinds of HS baseball news belongs on the HS baseball blog. Josh, keep up the great work!

Is it really a fetish or a sickness? I feel this was material for the front pages not a hs baseball blog. Y es he was a hs coach but his target was not hs baseball players.
You want the sensationalism and the current news, buy a paper and you’ll be kept up to date. Read the front page of LOHUD.com. This guy was a coach and his actions outside of baseball got him arrested. He deserves to be punished to the full extent the law allows. This however is not a baseball issue. I don’t think baseball u ( a team name) really has an interest here although the person using it may.
VGOOD I agree with your statement about the hs coaches. Cheap shot, but true.

This is a baseball blog and this guy was a HS baseball coach in Section 1…..I am glad that this story is published so that we all will be able to make sure that this voyeur does not exploit another child due to his fetish..Are you idiots who are calling for silence interested when a sex offender moves in to your neighborhood, or do you want the police to keep it quiet…Good job Josh, and please let us know about the arest and adjudication of any other HS teacher or coach from the area.
