It sounds like Detroit Tigers outfielder Delmon Young went out a little too hard last night, and now he’s got a lot more than a bad hangover on his hands. Young was arrested early this morning after allegedly attacking a panhandler near New York’s Times Square and yelling anti-Semitic epithets. Police say Young, who was “highly intoxicated,” got into a confrontation with a group of Chicago tourists after a panhandler wearing a yarmulke asked them for money, at which point Young started shouting, “F--king Jews!” Young, who is known for his hot temper, was charged with aggravated harassment and could faces hate crime charges. When asked to comment, a spokesman for the Tigers told the New York Post, “We’ll get back to you.”
