Myers Gets (Gasp!) Nothing For Hitting Wife

Brett Myers was in Boston court today regarding charges he beat his wife on a Boston street corner back in June.

Myers’ wife, Kim, wants the charges dropped, but prosecutors want Myers to serve two years of probation, enter a program for spousal abusers and undergo alcohol abuse evaluation. Seems pretty reasonable, but nothing’s set in stone yet. Myers, though, was the hot item in court today:

Myers, an ace of the Phillies staff, finished the season 12-7 with a 3.91 ERA. He was treated as a celebrity Thursday by court officers, who shook his hand. One told him, “Good luck, it will be all right” while another said, “Nice seeing you again.”

If we see some Brett Myers autographed court dockets on eBay tomorrow, you’ll know where they came from.

Update, 2:48 p.m.: The charges against Myers have been dropped, dude to his wife’s wishes. And they lived happily ever after.
