Former World Series MVP, an Outspoken Christian, Charged With Raping 4-Year-Old
John Wetteland was the World Series MVP for the New York Yankees in 1996. His career as a closer was as notable as his open faith, the subject of a profile in the New York Times a year earlier, when he talked about how vital Jesus was to his life:
“I honestly try and walk with Jesus Christ every day,” he said, describing his most important relationship, more important than his relationship with his wife.
…
“My relationship with Jesus Christ is not lip service,” he said. “It is of utmost importance to me. It is even more important than my relationship with my wife. I know that my wife considers her relationship with Him more important than her relationship with me. Ultimately, that’s who I’m going to have to face. That’s going to be a great day.“
Okay. Sure. We can all roll your eyes and move on. But after his retirement, and outside of stints as a bullpen coach for major league baseball teams, he also taught Bible classes at a private Christian high school in Texas.
