Marlins pitcher Sean West had a pretty decent rookie year, so he’s been celebrating quite a bit since the regular season ended.  From Philly.com:

West was leaving G Lounge (111 S. 17th) close to 2 a.m. Sunday morning when he was involved in a bit of pushing and shoving with a few other men. The 6-foot-8 rookie then climbed into a limousine with five women, cleat chasers, who had traveled in from Florida to hang out with the Marlins.

Limo driver Big Penny, says that while driving on Locust Street near 13th, West, 23, heckled a group of men, who then surrounded the car and threatened him, while Big Penny pleaded with the angry crowd not to harm his car, a Cadillac DTS sedan. Penny says one of West’s harem then vomited in the car, traveling up 13th Street, then again on Market Street, causing him to pull over at the Robert N.C. Nix, Sr. Federal Building where Penny says the pitcher nearly passed out.

“This motherf—– was laying on the ledge with his flip-flops on,” Penny says as the girls tried to make their friend feel better.

Penny says West told him that he would pay for any cleaning, since he has a lot of money. When the limo arrived at the Hyatt Regency Penn’s Landing, where the team stayed, West got out of the car with one of the women, and said they were heading to get a towel, but also announced his intent to have sex with his companion, and never returned.

It’s pretty clear that Sean West, like the rest of us, likes to party.  Getting wasted and giving the old in-out-in-out to groupies is pretty standard, though.  What impresses me is that aside from Big Penny, it looks like it was just West and his gaggle of groupies – which makes it all the more awesome that he was taunting a group of dudes.  He’s talking shit to a group of guys who want to beat his ass, he’s got chicks puking in his car, he can hardly stay conscious, and he ends up slaying one of the broads anyway.  Forget Chris Coghlan, I think Sean West is your NL Rookie of the Year.

P.S. I wonder if this is one of the “cleat chasers….”
