Torrington Sex Offender Gets Community Award

TORRINGTON, Conn. (AP) -- Members of a Torrington baseball umpires' organization are defending the lifetime achievement award they have presented to a convicted child sex offender.

Fifty-eighty-year-old Tom Barbero received the award earlier this month from the Torrington Board of Approved Baseball Umpires. He umpired for the association at area baseball games from 1970 to 1998. Board members say they knew about Barbero's criminal record and chose to honor him because his service and work as an umpire deserved recognition.

Barbero was sentenced in 2000 to four years in prison followed by 35 years probation. Police accused Barbero of sexually assaulting three teenage boys in 1994 and 1995, but say the boys were not involved with youth baseball teams.

Barbero was an umpire in the Babe Ruth league, which includes players from 13 to 15 years old.





well in that case they ought to re-name the league in his honor !

Seth: Fogell, this ID says that you're 25 years old. Why wouldn't you just put 21, man?
Fogell: Seth, Seth, Seth. Listen up, ass-face: every day, hundreds of kids go into the liquor store with fake IDs, and every single one says they're 21. Pssh, how many 21 year olds do you think there are in this town? It's called f*cking strategy, alright?

He isn't umpiring anymore. No wonder why he LOVED the game so much.
