On the one hand, the allegations of violence, sexual assault, ect make me sad and upset.
And on the other, a part of me will always have respect for somebody, who, when asked why he didn't go in and demand renegotiation midway though a contract after several other stars had just signed HUGE muli-million dollar contract replied that the Twins had negotiated in good faith and had upheld their end of the bargain, and since they had kept their word, he was going to keep his.
I guess the only thing we can say about him is that the man had flaws in proportion to his virtues.
This is not to say that we paper over his flaws, but neither should we ignore the man's genuine noble qualities.
