DENTON, Texas - Former Texas Rangers pitcher John Wetteland's child sex assault trial ended with a mistrial. It also brought back memories of other ex-Yankees who have had run-ins with the law. Either way, again, let's hope that Wetteland gets the help he needs. He was the 1996 World Series MVP with the New York Yankees and then signed a four-year deal with the Rangers.
