BECAUSE OF THE BOY:
He hopes to do right on wrong Dodgers tickets (Jerry Crowe, October 16, 2006, LA times)
Saul Turteltaub knows it was an innocent mistake, knows that his heart was in the right place, knows that he meant no harm.Posted by Orrin Judd at October 16, 2006 10:52 PMSo why does he feel so lousy?
Why is he "inconsolable," as he wrote in an e-mail to The Times?
Because of the boy.
Visions of the boy haunt him, remind him of his grandsons.
He'd like to make this right.
He'd like the kid to know that Saul Turteltaub is not a cheat.
And all Turteltaub did was unknowingly sell a pair of worthless tickets to a couple of strangers, a man and a boy, depriving them of attending a Dodgers playoff game against the New York Mets at Dodger Stadium.
But wasn't that enough?
He said he's "guilt-ridden."
He should be guilt-ridden for the last couple of seasons of "Sanford and Son".
