Another Evil Phillie

We told you that the Philadelphia Phillies were bad guys who hate kids. Now we find out they beat women too.
Pitcher Brett Myers was arrested Friday and charged with hitting his wife in the face on a street not far from Fenway Park.
Myers was arguing with his wife shortly after midnight at the corner of Boylston and Dalton streets, said David Procopio, a spokesman for the Suffolk County District Attorney's office. The woman and two witnesses told police the 25-year-old pitcher hit her. One witness told investigators Myers also pulled her hair.
"The evidence at this point leads us to believe the victim was struck in the left side of her face," Procopio said. He added that investigators are trying to determine if Myers hit her with a fist or open hand and whether he hit her more than once.
Police responded to a 911 call and found Myers' wife crying with a swollen face, Procopio said. Officers found Myers nearby and arrested him. Myers was booked by Boston police and his wife posted his $200 bail. Procopio did not know how long Myers spent in jail.

Is that guy related to Bill? How many Procopios could there be? Unless I'm totally butchering his last name.
