Pathetic

With a dad like this, no wonder the guy drank and did drugs (in his car). Bottom line... it's the kid's own fault. And I think the dad is pissed that he doesn't have the kid's huge salary anymore, so he's suing everyone.

ST. LOUIS -- The father of Josh Hancock filed suit Thursday, claiming a restaurant provided drinks to the St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher even though he was intoxicated prior to the crash that killed him.

The suit, filed in St. Louis Circuit Court by Dean Hancock of Tupelo, Miss., does not specify damages. Mike Shannon's Restaurant, owned by the longtime Cardinals broadcaster who starred on three World Series teams in the 1960s, is a defendant in the case along with Shannon's daughter, Patricia Shannon Van Matre, the restaurant manager.

Other defendants include Eddie's Towing, the company whose flatbed tow truck was struck by Hancock's sport utility vehicle in the early hours of April 29; tow truck driver Jacob Edward Hargrove; and Justin Tolar, the driver whose stalled car on Interstate 64 was being assisted by Hargrove.

Hopefully this gets thrown out but who knows with things as they are today. Always willing to blame someone other than the person responsible in order to get a handout.

I don't understand why they are being sued? Because they were there? They could have been a streetlight, or a rock,tree,house.. He was driving DRUNK!

Don't forget that he had drugs in the car and was talking on his cellphone.
