Major Leaguer Pleads Guilty to Major Drinking

Posted Apr 7th 2008 1:23PM by TMZ Staff

Scott SpiezioScott Spiezio got three years probation after pleading guilty to hit and run and DUI from a December 30 incident in which he drove through a fence and threw up on a friend's rug. Nice.

Spiezio -- who just last week signed with the Atlanta Braves -- also has to pay $1495.50 in fines, undergo a three-month alcohol program, attend two AA meetings and perform 80 hours of community service.

All other charges against Spiezio -- which included aggravated assault, battery and assault -- were dropped. No word on whether he replaced his friend's rug.

5. Don't listen to post two, the proper spelling is through, NOT thru.

6. It is quite obvious that there are illiterates writing the postings. How is it possible for anyone over the age of 10 not to know the difference between "Through" and "Threw." Scott did not drive threw a fence. He drove through a fence. Get you act together Harvey... postings should be spell checked by your supposed editing staff.

Howard-

Please don't post a post on the virtues of illiterates writing posts when you have an error in your own post, "Get you act together Harvey... " should be "Get YOUR act together Harvey... "

Sorry!!!

13. Just what Atalanta needs....another criminal! The Cardinals are better without him.

14. Well its back to double AA , and I'm not talking about baseball.. Now why on Earth would Hotlanta want a guy like this on their team?? Another loser, another drunk.. another puke. Why?? Just like the Hawkeyes football team.. why recruit the criminals and troublemakers?? Do you want to lose fans?? I am so sick of these athletes who break the law because they feel they are untouchable.. to popular. How about good roll models and leaders. The Braves are better without the drunken puke...

15. Why does the city of Atlanta need another criminal?
They already have Michael Vick. The cards don't need him anyway. They are 5-1 and Spezio has a record. Forget him in ST. Louis . He's a loser.
