Police are still building their list of initial suspects, a process made more difficult by many of those questions loudly insisting they “wished they killed the loudmouth bastard.” Here are some of the most promising leads:
Ron Gardenhire Accused Pierzynski of attempting to spike Twins first baseman Justin Morneau in 2007; was recently forced to listen to Pierzynski talk about the flames he painted on his car for twenty minutes.
Justin Mansel The EMT reportedly began berating Pierzynski while responding to the first murder attempt after AJ repeatedly instructed him: “blast this ambo out of here, I’m a two-time all-star.”
Dave Weeks A groundskeeper for the White Sox from 1985-2007, Pierzynski falsely accused Weeks of drinking on the job and got him fired because he “thought it would be funny.”
Stephanie Norris During a 2005 appearance on a TNA Wrestling program, Pierzynski singled Norris out in the crowd and delayed the show with a 20-minute improvised “riff” calling Norris “beat like a dog.”
Nick Deves Has never spoken to Pierzynski, but saw him strutting around in a Chicago-area mall like he was King Shit and would have strangled him right there if he hadn’t been with his infant daughter at the time.
