Who ya gonna call? Apparently, a different hotel when you visit lovely St. Petersburg, Fla. According to numerous baseball players, the Renaissance Vinoy Resort is haunted. Peter Venkman doesn't think it's drug or alcohol related, but what does he know?After listening to teammates talk endlessly about the haunted hotel, young pitchers Chad Billingsley and Jonathan Broxton said they experienced weird occurrences in their rooms that couldn't be explained. However, neither would discuss the episodes Sunday.
"It's stupid," said Billingsley, who reportedly heard his toilet flush numerous times while he was in another room. "It's not worth talking about."Hmmm ... poltergeists and slimers we can deal with, but incontinent spirits, that's another issue altogether. This isn't the first time the afterlife has chosen to contact the great baseball players of our era.
Other major leaguers and former major leaguers who have been spooked at the Vinoy include Jim Fregosi, Cito Gaston, Billy Koch, Gerald Perry, Scott Williamson, Jay Gibbons and Brian Roberts. Some Pittsburgh players were so frightened that they checked out of the hotel and stayed with a teammate's family when the Pirates were in town four years ago.I think it's time to call Egon, Winston, Peter and Ray, as well as that vampire-hunting tramp and the Mystery Machine. Somebody's got to get to the bottom of this.
